The Air Force is planning to locate a new Financial Transformation Customer Service and Call Center at Offutt AFB, Neb., or Ellsworth AFB, S.D., according to the Associated Press news service. USAF plans to merge operations at several bases in the one new center. Look for an announcement in April, preceded by intense community and lawmaker lobbying.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach told lawmakers Apr. 30 that the service’s biggest airlifter, the C-5 Galaxy, has a 37 percent mission capable rate—one of several challenges facing the mobility fleet.
