The Air Force began tearing down old housing at Spangdahlem AB, Germany, last fall and expects to start construction on 79 of 139 new units next month. Service plans for the $83 million effort call for all 139 new homes to be completed by 2010.
The Pentagon is considering ditching the Air Force’s plan to buy the E-7 Wedgetail as it looks to outsource the airborne target-tracking mission to space, defense officials indicated this week.
