Wright-Patterson Air Force Base stands to receive an increase of 264 civilian jobs and seven military positions for the government fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, under a proposal the Air Force made public Friday, June 26. The change is part of the Air Force's proposed systemwide force structure realignment for the upcoming budget year. It covers Air Force active-duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve personnel.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Most military reservists who left their civilian jobs to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan made more money there than in their regular jobs, according to a study that contradicts the notion that citizen soldiers lose money when they go to war. The study, by RAND's National Defense Research Institute, found that 72 percent of the troops surveyed made more while on war duty in 2002 or 2003 than they did in their civilian jobs in 2001. More than half made at least $10,000 more.
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- Air Force officials say they are pleasantly surprised by the number of people willing to transfer from out-of-state bases to remain in jobs being relocated to Wright- Patterson Air Force Base. About 37 percent of the civilian and military jobs being relocated to Wright-Patterson will come complete with the current occupant, said Thomas Wells, director of the Air Force's 711th Human Performance Wing. It is substantially better than the typical rate of 10 to 15 percent of people who have been willing to relocate in prior U.S. base realignment and closure (BRAC) rounds, and reduces the need to hire locally.
A major military command will eliminate about 80 jobs in Colorado Springs - about 5 percent of its local workforce - under a Department of Defense cost-cutting plan. S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command will part with 40 military positions and 39 civilian jobs through October, command spokesman John Cornelio announced Wednesday. The two commands fall under a single four-star commander, Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base will gain about 1,200 jobs, including 953 civilian positions, during the coming fiscal year as a result of President Obama's defense priorities and a national realignment approved in 2005. The tally includes a gain of 279 military positions and a loss of 32 Air Force Reserve part-time "drill" military authorizations. The loss of the drill jobs is due mostly to the Air Force's plan to retire the 445th Airlift Wing's 10 C-5 Galaxy transport planes during the next two years and replace them with eight newer C-17 transport aircraft.

The federal military base-closing commission voted Wednesday to close Brunswick Naval Air Station and spare Portsmouth Naval Shipyard - a pair of dramatic decisions that brought jubilation to thousands of shipyard workers, disappointment to people in the midcoast and pledges of help from politicians. "It's a day of conflicting emotions for those of us in Maine," said U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. "We're extremely pleased with the commission's decision regarding Portsmouth and profoundly disappointed with the closure of Brunswick Naval Air Station. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission voted 7-2 to close Brunswick, rather than move its surveillance aircraft as the Defense Department recommended, in order to save more money and allow redevelopment of the property. The decision ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Illinois would lose nearly 2,700 jobs but none of its military bases under a Pentagon plan unveiled Friday after months of speculation, trepidation and politicking. The Great Lakes Naval Recruit Training Command in North Chicago would lose 2,022 civilian and military jobs, according to recommendations Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has forwarded to a nine-member base closure commission that will begin holding hearings later this month.
