U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, center, arrives for a meeting of defense ministers of the North Atlantic Council at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014. Frustrated with his Afghan counterpart, U.S. President Barack Obama is ordering the Pentagon to accelerate planning for a full U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of this year. But Obama is also holding out hope that Afghanistan's next president may eventually sign a stalled security agreement that could prevent the U.S. from having to take that step.

At the time when dozens of nuclear missile officers were believed to be cheating on their exams, test scores were among the lowest of the year, according to Air Force records obtained by The Associated Press. No explanation is obvious, and the Air Force is not saying why test results were not better if, as alleged, at least 40 officers were cheating. (AP Photo/Robert Burns, File)

FILE - This Jan. 9, 2014 file photo shows a mockup of a Minuteman 3 nuclear missile used for training by missile maintenance crews at F. E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. In launching an ambitious campaign to boost morale in a troubled nuclear missile corps, the Air Force is retracing steps it took at least five years ago, revisiting proposed reforms that either died on the vine or fell short of fixing problems that persist. The earlier effort included some of the same ideas being floated today by a new set of Air Force leaders, including bonus pay and other incentives meant to make more attractive the work of the men and women who operate, maintain and secure an Air Force fleet of 450 Minuteman 3 nuclear-tipped missiles. Then, as now, the Air Force also looked for ways to eliminate “disincentives” -- things that can make missile duty onerous. (AP Photo/Robert Burns, File)
