Despite problems with one of its privatized housing contractors, the Air Force is continuing the effort around the force. Vandenberg Air Force Base in California selected GMH Housing to develop, manage, and construct an estimated 867 housing units. At Vandenberg last week, the developer, which has 40 other privatization projects around the country, kicked off the effort with a town hall meeting.
The Air Force is launching an effort to develop a new stand-off missile with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, or 1,150 miles, that would eventually be used for both air-to-air and air-to-surface missions.
