“This agreement is a win,
win, win for Georgia, the
U.S. Air Force and the com
munity,” said Nesbitt. “The
gap in our programmed use
of these excellent facilities
affords the opportunity to
increase capacity here at the
Warner Robins Air Logistics
Center.”
The temporary use of the
state owned facilities by WR
ALC will balance the pri
orities of the Air Force and
the state while ensuring the
availability of these facili
ties for future Georgia Air
National Guard flying mis
sions.
The agreement identifies
support and responsibilities
required by both entities
during the temporary use
of the state owned facilities.
These items include build
ing maintenance, security,
upgrades and safety items.
