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.
The Air Force has finished modifying and testing the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft that will serve as a temporary Air Force One, the service announced May 1. All that’s left now is to finish painting the jet before it starts flying this summer.
