The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., will be taking on depot maintenance support for the Air Force’s other prime unmanned aerial vehicles—MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper—in addition to its work on the RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV, reports the Macon Telegraph. Air Force Materiel Command has decided to assign the work to Robins, which could boost the ALC’s workforce, according to Gene Rector of the Telegraph. Warner Robins also supports the high flying U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
F-35As from the Vermont Air National Guard have deployed to Puerto Rico in recent days, continuing a major buildup of U.S. Air Force assets in Latin America aimed at combating drug trafficking and pressuring the regime of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
