Engineers from the 1st Expeditionary RED HORSE Group from Nellis AFB, Nev., are removing and replacing Soviet-era steel planking covering 60,000 square meters of ramp space at Bagram AB, Afghanistan. The work is part of a $4.4 million airfield construction project. When finished, the airfield will provide US and coalition aircraft supporting Operation Enduring Freedom with a better place to park, according to Capt. Todd Williams.
The Air Force on March 12 awarded contract modifications worth a combined $2.4 billion to Boeing to procure an undisclosed number of E-7 Wedgetail as part of the program's engineering and manufacturing development phase and continue work on the airborne battle management aircraft’s radar.
