The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., has two self-sufficient, 37-foot tractor-trailer combinations—dubbed War Wagons—that can deploy anywhere in the world to help make structural repairs on broken aircraft. They can drive within the US or be airlifted aboard a C-17 or C-130. Robins journalist Amanda Creel reports that the mechanics pack the wagons with special tools and supplies depending upon the job, which can include bolted, bonded, or composite repairs.
