The Air Force military construction’s coffers are getting a boost this year thanks to the recently passed federal stimulus bill. Speaking Thursday at AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla., Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said the MILCON increase is in the form of more than $300 million to build dormatories and child development centers on USAF bases and more than $1 billion to upgrade base facilities and infrastructure.
Air Force Chief of Staff nominee Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach said he'll give special attention to coordinating with the Navy on buys of new weapons.
