USAFE Plans New Training Center: US Air Forces in Europe plans in March to open the new European Transportation Training Center at Spangdahlem AB, Germany. The ETTC is the second such center in the Air Force; the first resides in the Pacific Air Forces arena at Kadena AB, Japan, on the island of Okinawa.
