Air Force officials note that the 621st Contingency Response Wing has just celebrated its first birthday. The Air Mobility Command wing, headquartered at McGuire AFB, N.J., got a major workout during its first year, when it took on more than 525 hurricane relief missions in the US and 273 earthquake relief missions in Pakistan. Its primary mission, of course, is to open air bases in forward areas of operation.
A massive contract to manage thousands of PCS moves failed because U.S. Transportation Command did not adequately oversee the results, according to the Government Accountability Office.
