MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. —
Air Force officials hosted a ceremony at Maxwell AFB, Oct. 8, 2024, highlighting the activation of the Air Force Accessions Center (Provisional) at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, and the implementation of a broader strategy to improve how the Air Force inspires, engages, recruits and trains the next generation of Total Force Airmen and Guardians needed to compete, deter, and win in today’s global landscape.
Air University’s Jeanne M. Holm Center for Officer Accessions and Citizen Development at Maxwell AFB merged with JBSA-Randolph’s Air Force Recruiting Service to form the newly established AFAC (P), which is expected to reach Full Operating Capability by Oct. 1, 2025.
“Combining recruiting and specific training missions enables Air Education and Training Command to optimize resources and weight of effort across the enterprise ensuring agility, adaptability, and effectiveness to meet Department of the Air Force, and by extension, combatant command requirements,” stated Brig. Gen. Christopher Amrhein, AFAC (P) commander. “Our goal is to be able to inspire, recruit, train and develop the right talent, whether Airman or Guardian, into the right job at the right time and while being agile enough to adjust while in execution.”
Recruiting across the Department of Defense has become increasingly challenging due to a widening unfamiliarity gap between the civilian sector and the military.
While the DAF exceeded its recruiting goals for this year, this gap has made the mission of attracting high-quality recruits more difficult.
This gap has made the mission of attracting high-quality recruits more difficult. However, the Air Force is committed to communicating that service in the Air Force or Space Force offers much more than employment it provides profound opportunities, unparallel community, and sense of purpose. The Accessions Center will now be able to garner that talent as well as train and develop the ROTC, JROTC, OTS, and Warrant Officer pipelines under one umbrella.

“We are excited to showcase multiple configurations of the RIwP turret for the U.S. Army at AUSA 2024. The daily configuration changes across the Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems’ booths will demonstrate how this product can transform to meet the changing needs of our complex battlefield. This is a shining example of industry coordination and an extension of the multi-year TRX collaboration between General Dynamics Land Systems and Moog,” said Tony Peck, Turreted Weapon Systems Director, Moog Inc. On day one, Moog will feature RIwP with a 30mm gun, Stinger and Coyote missile launchers, and radars. On day two, RIwP will be outfitted with an APKWS 70mm rocket launcher and a Stinger launcher along with the 30mm gun and radars. Both configurations are designed to meet air defense and counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS) missions.
The RIwP turret on the TRX Defender in General Dynamics Land Systems’ booth also will change each of the three days of AUSA. Supported by RIwP’s multi-mission payload modularity options, the TRX Defender is designed to protect formations against air and ground threats in a Mission Command on the Move scenario, relieving subordinate units from being tasked for command post defense.

The Moog exhibit will also feature other defense solutions including the Flexible Mission Platform (FMPTM), Control Actuation Systems (CAS) for precision missile steering, a Portable Weapon Management System (PWMS), avionics systems, and high-performance integrated rotary solutions including slip rings, motion control, and media conversion.

In a directive issued in late September, the Commanding General of Marine Special Operations Command orders the cession of wear of MultiCam uniforms and equipment. Instead, MARSOC Marines and Sailors will wear FROG uniforms until the command can procure SOF Peculiar uniforms in MARPAT patterns. Additionally, they will no longer use field equipment in MultiCam but rather procure gear in OD Green.
This will cost millions of dollars after the decision was made to streamline SOF procurement to one colorway, the MultiCam pattern.

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (Oct. 8, 2024) – Silencer Central, the nation’s largest silencer dealer and manufacturer, has teamed up with MeatEater, the leading outdoor lifestyle brand, to launch the highly anticipated MeatEater by BANISH suppressor. Designed for hunting, this all-new 30-caliber suppressor is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance in the field.
“We told the folks at Silencer Central that we wanted to help build a suppressor that was lightweight, short, user serviceable, quiet, and reduced recoil,” said Ryan ‘Cal’ Callaghan, Director of Conservation at MeatEater. “It seemed impossible, but from every test we’ve done, that team was able to walk a fine line to help us accomplish all of those things in a package dedicated for hunting rigs.”
The MeatEater by BANISH is built for performance and rated for cartridges up to .300 RUM. It features an anchor brake that reduces recoil by up to 40% in the open position and 30% when closed, while also delivering an additional 5 dB of sound reduction. Overall, the suppressor cuts average sound levels by 32 dB, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable shooting experience.
With a muzzle cap insert to accommodate various calibers, users can optimize the suppressor for their specific rifle setup. Constructed from lightweight titanium, the suppressor weighs just 10.3 ounces, measures 5.85 inches in length, and has a 1.73 inch diameter with an industry-standard hub mount.
“From the beginning, both Silencer Central and MeatEater had a shared vision for this suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “It had to be lightweight, quiet, and reduce recoil – essential features for hunters. Our engineering team worked hand-in-hand with the MeatEater team on every aspect, from design to testing, and even down to the aesthetics, to ensure we delivered the best possible product. The result exceeded every expectation. I’m excited to take it into the field this season, and I know the MeatEater crew is just as eager to use it on their next hunt.”
The MeatEater by BANISH 30-caliber suppressor is available now with an MSRP of $1,299. To make a purchase or for more information visit Silencer Central’s website.
