With a glance to our past and Tstrong focus on our future, I could not be more proud to be a Mobility Airman! Gen Jacqueline D. Van Ovost From the very first day of the year, AMC was projecting decisive strength as we rapidly delivered the 82nd Airborne’s Immediate Response Force to United States Central Command to combat Iranian aggression. Shortly thereafter, we responded to a very different threat—a global pandemic that rapidly changed the world as we knew it. COVID-19 challenged us to operate in a contested environment, from This year, our lift was taking care of our families, to balancing risk to mission and force, to operating around the globe in a pandemic that changed hourly—we were put to the test. heavy and challenges But make no mistake, your determined, resilient, and innovative spirit prevailed. great, but you met Regardless of the threat, Air Mobility Command continued to project decisive strength and deliver hope around the world. them head on and This year, our lift was heavy and challenges great, but you met them head on delivered!

Because we have been physically distant, it is important to reinforce those connections that may have atrophied. Keep please take time to rest your fellow Airmen in mind and extend a hand to those who may not have the opportunity to be with family. To our deployed Mobility Warriors projecting and and reconnect with sustaining the Joint Force downrange, you are in our thoughts and prayers—thank friends and loved ones. you for your service and sacrifice during the holiday season. We are here for your family in your absence and eagerly await your return! Next year will be action packed as we get laser-focused on our priorities and accelerate our integration into new Joint warfighting concepts. We must build the Mobility Air Force we need through developing multi-capable and digitally adept Airmen while energizing rapid capability development in order to deliver credible capacity to the Joint warfighter. During the next few weeks, I ask that you dedicate some time for personal reflection to think about your goals for the new year, both personally and professionally, and then be ready to execute. Thank you for your continued commitment to our mission, our Air Force, and especially to each other. Your leadership, irreproachable character, and bias for action are the strength of this command and deeply appreciated. I wish you all a restful and joyous holiday season.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e63729. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e63729 Abstract Considered extinct as breeding species in the early 2000s, the Saker Falcon was recovered when the first active nest from the new history of the species in Bulgaria was discovered in 2018, formed of two birds that were re-introduced back in 2015. Currently, there is only one confirmed wild breeding pair in the country - the male from 2015 with a female changed in 2020, released again as a part of the programme, in 2016. This is a report on the preliminary results and analysis of the ongoing establishment phase of the re- introduction of the Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) in Bulgaria - first ever performed for this species in the country and globally. The period studied is 2015-2020. Following the re- introduction activities started in 2011, the current phase is defined by standardised methodology and a unified approach.

However, the consequences of that surge have not received as much attention as the situation in Western countries. Bulgaria, even though it has been one of the most heavily affected countries, has been one of those neglected cases. Methods: We use mortality and mobility data from Eurostat, official governmental and other sources to examine the development and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria and other European countries. Results: We find a very high level of excess mortality in Eastern European countries measured by several metrics including excess mortality rate (EMR), P-scores and potential years of life lost.
