Pacific Air Forces plans to deactivate its 607th Combat Communications Squadron in South Korea as part of a command-wide restructuring of its communications capability that will culminate with establishment of a regional unit at Andersen AFB, Guam, reports Stars and Stripes. The plan involves leaving some tactical comm capability—about 15 positions—at Osan AB, South Korea, and basing a larger unit, an as yet unnumbered squadron under Andersen’s 36th Contingency Response Group.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
