The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins AFB, Ga., has moved its F-15 depot operations to a new location on the base. Maj. Gen. Tom Owen, ALC commander, marked the completion of the move last week, saying it would enable the 561st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron to accommodate more than $50 million in extra work each year, reports Air Force journalist Damian Housman. Owen also noted that moving the operation into an existing facility eliminated the need to spend some $17 million to build a new hangar.
Space Force acquisition leaders were already looking to see if they could shift some of their biggest programs to use commercial services or technology, but one of President Donald Trump's executive orders, signed April 9, that could super-charge that effort.
