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.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
