At Vandy, a Reagan Bust: 
As we reported Monday, there is now at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., the Ronald W. Reagan Missile Defense Site, comprising four silos, two of which house interceptor missiles as part of the nation’s ballistic missile defense umbrella and two that will serve primarily as test facilities. During a ceremony, Air Force officials also unveiled a bust of the former President, who championed efforts to introduce missile defense.
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.
