The Air Force is taking a hard look at how it can control costs in contractor logistics support. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, in a press conference last week at AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla., said many capabilities “have come into the force quickly” over the last decade of war, compelling the Air Force to skip developing formalized training programs, organic support, or even, in some cases, operational test and evaluation. But CLS costs are rising, and so the Air Force needs to give them a scrub as it looks for savings and the proper balance of work in-house and by contractors, he said during the Feb. 24 press event.
Airman 1st Class Marcus White-Allen concocted a story to cover up that he fired his M18 9mm pistol into Airman Braden Lovan’s chest killing him on July 20, two Airmen from F.E. Warren Air Force Base, WY testified during separate courts martial proceedings on Oct. 30-31.
