Ten Air National Guardsmen from six states have come together at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to construct a 6,000-square-foot Expeditionary Legal Complex for military commissions, reports Army Sgt. Michael Owens. The $10 million project will include mobile offices around the complex. “We are working on schedule, and I am confident that we will be finished by mid-March … maybe earlier,” said Air Force Lt. Col. James Starnes, commander of the 474th Expeditionary Civil Engineering Squadron.
Aircraft readiness will suffer if Congress does not approve some $1.5 billion worth of spare parts the Air Force requested in its annual Unfunded Priorities List, sent to Capitol Hill last week, Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin said.
