The Air Force announces plans to base its MC-12W Liberty intelligence-surveillance- reconnaissance aircraft at Beale AFB, Calif. (The base will receive the first of its planned seven training aircraft June 10, 2011; the bulk of the 37-aircraft fleet are expected to be deployed overseas.)
The Guardians of the 11th Space Warning Squadron were honored as the top U.S. Space Force unit for 2024 for their role in thwarting Iranian missile barrages last year.
