The technicians at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia once again have returned an Air Force Special Operations Command aircraft to the command ahead of time. The center repaired an MC-130H Combat Talon II, replacing its center wing box 53 days ahead of schedule, reports journalist Amanda Creel. Earlier this year the Robins team repaired the wing box on an AC-130U, returning it to AFSOC faster than expected. For this latest effort, the technicians converted a center wing box from an AC-130H to work on the MC-130.
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.
