Congressional investigators say tens of thousands of questionnaires aimed at measuring the mental and physical health of returning combat troops can't be found. As a result, the Government Accountability Office says, the military does not have reasonable assurances that the service members got the opportunity to report their health problems on the forms. The GAO says about 20 percent of the questionnaires it sought during a set period were missing.
Federal officials say flights were delayed across the country when a piece of communications equipment in Salt Lake City failed. Federal Aviation Administration officials and an official for the union that represents the agency's technicians said Thursday the failure prevented air traffic control computers in different regions of the country from talking to each other. Learn more from National Security Correspondent J.J. Green.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates named a former Army secretary and former Navy chief to review a broad range of Pentagon programs, ranging from medical and personnel policies to how well military bases are secured. Army Secretary Togo West and former chief of naval operations Adm. Vernon Clark will head the 45-day review. The review will try to find gaps in procedures for identifying service members who could pose threats to others and will assess processes.
