By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (AFNS) — On what would have been their 26th wedding anniversary, Tech. Sgt.

Fighting in the early morning hours through brisk air and deep snow, Chapman sacrificed his own life to pre- serve the lives of his teammates during the Battle of Taku Ghar, Afghanistan, on March 4, 2002. “[John] would want to recognize the other men who lost their lives,” Valerie said in a previous interview. “Even though he did something he was awarded the Medal of Honor for, he would not want the other guys to be for- gotten – they were part of the teamRECREATION together. I think he AN E ENTS would say his Medal of Honor was not just for him, but for all of the guys who were lost.” Chapman was originally awarded the Air Force Cross for his actions; however, following a review of the Air Force Cross and Silver Star recipients directed by then-Secretary of DefenseWORLDWIDE Ash Carter, Deborah James, then-Secretary of the Air Force, recommended Chapman’s Air Force Cross (U.S. Air Force photo by Wayne A.

Employees may not knowingly solicit, accept, or receive a political contribution for a political party, candidate in a partisan race, or partisan political group.

Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, SPRINGS updated reporters on the National Defense Strategy’s progress with its three lines of effort: increasing lethality, strengthening partnerships and alliances and reforming DoD business practices. WASHINGTON — The Defense Department is making significant progress along its three strategic lines of effort outlined in the National Defense Strategy issued in January, Defense Secretary James N. Mattis told reporters today. Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford updated Pentagon reporters this morning. The secretary praised the strong bipartisan support in Congress that resulted in the $717 billion budget authorization for 2019. “And our military continues to grow stronger, more lethal, more agile, and certainly more deployable than a year ago,” he said. The Fiscal Year ‘2019 National Defense Authorization Act is named for the late Sen. John S. McCain, and it meets all of DoD’s critical needs, Mattis said. “I cannot thank Congress without expressing my respect for [McCain] for his steadfast courage and his service and my deepest condolences to his family for the loss of a man 100+ Interactive FREE FUN who represented all of the ideals America stands for,” the secretary said.

G. Steve Cum Chief, Medical Enlisted Force and Enlisted Corps Chief
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — When the Defense Health Agency assumes responsibility for delivering the health benefit in select MTFs on Oct. 1, medics will continue to have the same career development opportunities as before, if not more. It’s no secret the Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg, and I do our fair share of traveling, especially in light of this “transition,” as some like to call it. We talk with a lot of Airmen, and for good reason some are worried about their careers. Concern is natural, as long as you do not let it consume you. When it comes to jobs, career, and family we should all have good situational awareness. But first, let me say something about this transition. In my view, this is more of a partnership. We have been working side by side with the DHA since it stood up. For years, we have worked together to ensure medical Airmen are ready for wartime missions, while at the same time ensuring a medi- cally ready Air Force. Come Oct. 1, the DHA will implement policies and instructions in MTFs, and we will partner with them to ensure beneficiaries continue receiving the Trusted Care you provide every day. The fact is increased involvement by the DHA in MTFs will offer you increased development opportunities, not fewer. We are continually evaluating and assessing programs FALLS CHURCH, Va. — When the Defense Health Agency assumes responsibility for delivering the health benefit in select MTFs on Oct. 1, medics to ensure you have the right training and skills to succeed. will continue to have the same career development opportunities as before, if not more.
