'Today's Air Force' features disaster relief

  • Published
This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights how the U.S. Air Force provides life-saving relief anywhere in the world. One example is the humanitarian relief Air Force aircrews have flown to China. Airmen are working around the clock to deliver food, blankets and tools to care for the victims.

Disaster relief missions not only involve multiple military branches but multiple countries. A medical exercise in central and eastern Europe, known as MEDCEUR, affords various countries the opportunity to practice together in a controlled, consequence-free environment.

Also featured is a Memorial Day special that recognitizes the military men and women who paid the ultimate price in defense of the nation.

The 30-minute, weekly news show can be seen every day on The Pentagon Channel, American Forces Radio and Television Service stations around the world, and is available via podcast at http://www.af.mil/library/podcast.asp. The show also airs on more than 100 public cable-access stations within the United States.
