Air Mobility Command officials say they’ve “moved forward aggressively” with the command’s environmental restoration program, saving an estimated $500,000 by bundling 41 cleanup sites at seven bases. Covering the AMC east region—comprising 22 sites at Charleston AFB, S.C., MacDill AFB, Fla., and Pope AFB, N.C.—is TolTest, Inc., of Ohio. Another Ohio firm, Environmental Quality Management, Inc., will cover the west region—19 sites at Fairchild AFB, Wash., Grand Forks AFB, N.D., McConnell AFB, Kan., and Travis AFB, Calif. Overseeing these contractors and handling the necessary regulatory reporting will be Earth Tech, Inc., of California, for the east region and CH2M Hill, Inc., of Colorado for the west. Officials say AMC is the first USAF command to split the engineering oversight function from the site remediation service work.
Airman 1st Class Marcus White-Allen concocted a story to cover up that he fired his M18 9mm pistol into Airman Braden Lovan’s chest killing him on July 20, two Airmen from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, WY testified during separate courts martial proceedings on Oct. 30-31.
