A new Air Force squadron focused on training the Iraqi Air Force is up and ready. The 370th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group on Jan. 10 activated the 870th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron, according to an Air Forces Central release. The new squadron, which will advise Iraqi Security Forces Aviation on logistics at all aerial ports in Iraq, will be commanded by Maj. Ross “Alex” Mol.
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
