The Air Force has turned over to the March Joint Powers Commission the final deeds, transfering the last of some 4,500 acres at March AFB, Calif. that BRAC 1996 declared surplus, reports Linda Geissinge of the Air Force Real Property Agency. Only the 2,091 acres reserved for Air Force Reserve Command as March Air Reserve Base remain under Air Force control.
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.
