The head of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Maj. Gen. Tom Owen, said that the Georgia ALC will become one of five Air Force regional contracting centers. During a ceremony at Macon State College on Oct. 5, marking the start of a collaboration to provide business students with government contracting courses, Owens said the WRALC would be gaining 385 contracting professionals. Gene Rector of The Telegraph reports that the Warner Robins activity would consolidate “base-level” contracting actions for 11 Air Force bases in the southeast. Other regional centers are slated for Colorado, Virginia, Missouri, and Texas.
The ongoing government shutdown has not slowed progress on the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, a congressional official said, correcting a previous statement from lawmakers about the secretive program.
