The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., has moved its F-15 depot operations to a new location on the base. Maj. Gen. Tom Owen, ALC commander, marked the completion of the move last week, saying it would enable the 561st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron to accommodate more than $50 million in extra work each year, reports Air Force journalist Damian Housman. Owen also noted that moving the operation into an existing facility eliminated the need to spend some $17 million to build a new hangar.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
