Visitors requesting access to military

00:21.156 --> 00:23.211
bases and some federal installations

00:23.309 --> 00:25.309
will be required to present real ID

00:25.309 --> 00:27.579
compliant credentials beginning May 7 .

00:27.870 --> 00:29.814
The requirement will mainly affect

00:29.814 --> 00:31.648
visitors and non-permanent party

00:31.648 --> 00:33.870
personnel , such as retired civilians ,

00:33.870 --> 00:36.092
delivery drivers . construction workers

00:36.092 --> 00:38.264
and caregivers , Federal employees ,

00:38.424 --> 00:40.202
military members , dependents ,

00:40.202 --> 00:42.544
military retirees , contractors , and

00:42.544 --> 00:44.584
base residents may still use their

00:44.584 --> 00:46.424
common access card or uniformed

00:46.424 --> 00:48.480
services identification to enter the

00:48.480 --> 00:51.709
installation . Air Force operational

00:51.709 --> 00:53.542
Energy , along with Air Mobility

00:53.542 --> 00:55.709
Command , are entering the final phase

00:55.709 --> 00:57.820
of evaluation for the micro vein drag

00:57.820 --> 01:00.069
reduction technology on the C17

01:00.069 --> 01:02.549
Globemaster 3 . Micro veins will

01:02.549 --> 01:04.771
improve operational capabilities across

01:04.771 --> 01:06.660
the department and increase the .

01:06.660 --> 01:08.771
Effectiveness of the C-17 fleet . The

01:08.771 --> 01:10.882
low-cost tech is projected to yield a

01:10.882 --> 01:12.938
return of investment within 7 months

01:12.938 --> 01:15.049
from efficiencies gained through fuel

01:15.049 --> 01:17.216
cost reduction , saving the department

01:17.216 --> 01:19.144
over $14 million annually , while

01:19.144 --> 01:21.366
simultaneously improving the aircraft's

01:21.366 --> 01:24.540
capabilities . The US Air Force and

01:24.540 --> 01:26.940
Boeing have agreed to adjust aspects of

01:26.940 --> 01:29.569
the T7A Red Hawk acquisition approach

01:29.860 --> 01:31.804
to meet air education and Training

01:31.804 --> 01:33.971
Command's operational needs to deliver

01:33.971 --> 01:35.980
a safe and sustainable platform to

01:35.980 --> 01:38.540
replace the aging T38C Talon aircraft

01:38.540 --> 01:40.900
fleet . Under the adjusted plan , the

01:40.900 --> 01:42.970
Air Force would receive 4 production

01:42.970 --> 01:44.914
representative test vehicles . And

01:44.914 --> 01:46.904
fiscal year 2025 with research ,

01:46.915 --> 01:49.154
development , test and evaluation funds

01:49.154 --> 01:51.714
to deliver in fiscal year 2026 , this

01:51.714 --> 01:53.714
expanded test capacity would enable

01:53.714 --> 01:56.154
AETC to expedite test plans and

01:56.154 --> 01:58.154
curriculum development , ultimately

01:58.154 --> 02:00.321
achieving a timely initial operational

02:00.321 --> 02:02.376
capability . That's your look around

02:02.376 --> 02:04.321
the Air Force . I'm Staff Sergeant
