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.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
