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.
Aircraft readiness will suffer if Congress does not approve some $1.5 billion worth of spare parts the Air Force requested in its annual Unfunded Priorities List, sent to Capitol Hill last week, Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin said.
