More than 120 high-level Air Force officials are planning Pacific Air Forces way forward as ongoing challenges face the command’s area of operations. The inaugural PACAF Warfighter Symposium began May 23 and will wrap up Friday at JB Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. The attendees are comprised of representatives from all components, and will recommend how the Air Force can implement new strategies and operational concepts, according to a PACAF release. The recommendations will focus on how to work more closely with allies across in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
