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.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
