AF appoints new space deputy

A new Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force for Space was appointed Nov. 18 to lead the way in innovation in Space.

Dr. Troy Meink assumed his new role with the goal of championing the space mission across the DOD, he said, while ensuring cooperation among various DoD, intelligence, civil, commercial and international communities.

“When the opportunity arose for me to take this position, there was a little bit of apprehension and excitement,” Meink said. “A mentor once told me that if a job doesn’t scare you a little bit, then you shouldn’t take it. So it fits … but this gives me the opportunity to do good things for the Air Force.”
