Boeing issued a news release last week to ensure the Air Force knows the company plans to “compete aggressively” to be able to continue working KC-135 and KC-10 maintenance, repair, overhaul, and logistics in San Antonio, at the site of the old San Antonio Air Logistics Center. The news statement says Boeing is “taking nothing for granted,” even though it is the incumbent and performing “very well.”
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
