An Air Force official says Air Mobility Command is transforming supply processes to better meet the demand of Mobility Air Forces around the world. A recently dedicated one-stop center—the Mobility Logistics Support Center at Scott AFB, Ill.—will take care of MAF warfighters “by giving them support, when they need it, where they need it,” said Brig. Gen. Gary McCoy, Air Staff logistics readiness director. Air Combat Command plans to open a similar center—the Combat Logistics Support Center—to aid Combat Air Forces. McCoy calls each of these entities a “weapon system capability-focused structure” that will help improve USAF expeditionary operations.
The Air Force won’t finalize a new deal with Boeing for another 75 KC-46 tankers until some of the “deficiencies” with the refueler are resolved, new Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John D. Lamontagne told lawmakers March 4.
