Winning the 2007 Commander in Chief’s Annual Award for Installation Excellence within the Air Force is Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. The home of the 366th Fighter Wing Gunfighters is one of five DOD installations to receive the award, which evaluates outstanding and innovative approaches toward facility maintenance and operations. A base release notes that the 366th rolled out several initiatives for a six-person inspection team, including its $60 million Singapore Air Force facility beddown plan and installation of a $1.3 million aircraft hangar high-expansion foam system to increase aircraft protection.
The Air Force wants more companies able to produce its new, multi-use, anti-radar missile that one expert says will prove vital in any future peer conflict and would be in high demand for the war in Iran if stocks were available now.
