The Air Force has renamed the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence, headquartered at Brooks City-Base, Tex., to the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment—the acronym, therefore, is still AFCEE. A base release says the new name “more accurately reflects the organization’s increased scope of responsibilities.” AFCEE now oversees the service’s military construction, military family housing, and environmental restoration, part of a centralization move by the Air Force.
The Air Force has finished resurrecting a B-1B Lancer, completing a yearslong process to transform a bomber that had been stored for parts in the Arizona desert into the new flagship of the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas.
