Shaking up the Air Force’s supply system, Air Mobility Command announced Monday that two logistics support centers will soon replace the service’s five regional supply squadrons. In April 2006, a Mobility Air Forces Logistics Support Center at Scott AFB, Ill., will handle supply back-shop operations for all Air Force mobility aircraft while another center—Combat Air Forces LSC—at Langley AFB, Va., will be responsible for combat aircraft.
The Air Force on March 12 awarded contract modifications worth a combined $2.4 billion to Boeing to procure an undisclosed number of E-7 Wedgetail as part of the program's engineering and manufacturing development phase and continue work on the airborne battle management aircraft’s radar.
