Shaking up the Air Force’s supply system, Air Mobility Command announced Monday that two logistics support centers will soon replace the service’s five regional supply squadrons. In April 2006, a Mobility Air Forces Logistics Support Center at Scott AFB, Ill., will handle supply back-shop operations for all Air Force mobility aircraft while another center—Combat Air Forces LSC—at Langley AFB, Va., will be responsible for combat aircraft.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
