The Air Force Command and Control and Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance Center at Langley AFB, Va., packed up its stuff and moved—setting up temporarily in a building just off base with the National Institute of Aerospace in Hampton Roads, Va. The Hampton Roads Daily Press reports that this temporary move will roll into another temporary move into a new building just next door. C2ISR Center officials hope to return to Langley at some point, but they plan to lease their new digs for five years. Air Combat Command, headquartered at Langley, asked C2ISR to move from the four buildings it occupied so the base could renovate the buildings.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
