About 100 airmen from Moody AFB, Ga., deployed last week to protect deployed USAF assets in the fight against ISIS. The airmen from the 824th Base Defense Squadron deployed April 11 to an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia to “provide fully integrated, highly capable, and responsive forces while safeguarding expeditionary Air Force assets,” according to a Moody release. The squadron is part of the 93rd Air Ground Operations Wing.
The Air Force may wind up buying land to build 120 new intercontinental ballistic missile silos as part of its revamped infrastructure approach for the new Sentinel ICBM.
