The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., has managed to forestall any civilian reductions in force for this fiscal year, reports Gene Rector of the Macon Telegraph. Robert Williams, the base’s deputy director of civilian personnel, says the center accepted 130 early retirements or separations earlier this year, but, unlike other Air Force Materiel Command units, it doesn’t expect to need to cut more personnel in Fiscal 2007. The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, plans to take applications for early retirements beginning next week.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
