Horne III, Space Launch Delta 30 commander, delivers closing remarks during a U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant release party held at the Cocheo Park pavilion at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., June 16, 2026. Horne mentioned the commitment and tenacity required of individuals who are selected for promotion to master sergeant and his hopes for their continued success and leadership.
