AETC team impressed by CAFB

COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. – Senior leadership of the Air Education and Training Command’s headquarters were onboard Nov. 3-4 for an overview of the base’s mission and to determine aspects of its overall future. Among discussions was the 49th Fighter Training Squadron, with its over-grown student training Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals mission requirements, and the 14th Mission Support Group - and its new Logistics Readiness Squadron. AETC team leader Gilbert Montoya was making his first visit to CAFB. On Day 2, Montoya spent it with the L3 Communications Systems field support program manager regarding the base's aircraft maintenance contract. Afterwards, Montoya told leadership that CAFB “did very well competing for end of fiscal year 2014 funds, because you were ready." The AETC team leader was impressed with the amount of CAFB’s operations tempo of about 270 daily sorties. “I am reassured the future of the Air Force is strong (and) Columbus should be very proud of the good work they're doing every day."
