The Air Force Global Logistics Support Center opened Building 1515, its new headquarters building, Feb. 26 at Scott AFB, Ill., during a ribbon cutting ceremony. “The new facility features an open floor plan and a command and control center to help us support the warfighter 24/7,” said AFGLSC commander, Maj. Gen. Gary McCoy. It is the first of two buildings that Air Force Materiel Command, AFGLSC’s parent organization, is constructing for the center at Scott. AFGLSC, which stood up nearly one year ago, is the Air Force’s hub for supply chain management. Its goal is to seamlessly integrate and oversee all logistic processes, technology, and resources to deliver end-to-end support to the warfighter more rapidly and at a reduced cost.
