Should the Air Force Institute of Technology in Dayton consolidate with its Navy counterpart in Monterey? The BRAC Commission raised that question. The answer is “No,” says outgoing Air Force Materiel Command chief Gen. Gregory Martin. He told Timothy Gaffney of the Dayton Daily News that there’s no clear “cost benefit” moving either school. The Pentagon agreed on that and the issue of privatization. Martin said some things are “ready-made” for privatization, others merely “sound good.”
With a fresh directive from the president, the department could opt to repeat its unconventional—and potentially unlawful—move to pay troops using unused non-personnel appropriations.
