Air Mobility Command undergoes a major restructuring, creating a single numbered air force-18th Air Force, headquartered at Scott AFB, Ill.-and transforming 15th AF at Travis AFB, Calif., and 21st AF at McGuire AFB, N.J., into expeditionary mobility task forces reporting to 18th AF.
Space Systems Command has awarded a massive $2.29 billion contract to SpaceX for the “backbone” of its new Space Data Network, a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit that will provide connectivity for the entire joint force.
