For Operation Support Hope, a humanitarian-relief operation for refugees from the Rwandan civil war, Air Force C-5s and C-141s begin airlifting equipment and supplies from Germany to Uganda and Kenya. C-130s transport the cargo from there to refugee camps in Zaire. By Aug. 7, they have delivered 3,660 tons of relief cargo.
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.
