The 23rd Fighter Group, currently based at Pope AFB, N.C., soon will begin sending group personnel to Moody AFB, Ga., to prepare for the transfer of the unit’s personnel and equipment there, according to the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer. An officer and three sergeants will moved to the Georgia base to set conditions for the move, coordinating between the two installations and checking on hangars and training ranges. Approximately 1,000 personnel and 36 aircraft are slated to move. The aircraft will begin arriving at Moody in October 2007.
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
