Space Command HQ Would Require 'New Investment for Facilities'

Have you been to WPAFB? I work here and many of our buildings are filled with asbestos floor and ceiling tiles. To get them up to code would cost more than building new facilities. I think we need to use what we can, but also build new where needed. There is ample room where the old base housing used to be in Area A.

SMSgt Keith Klug - Never been to Wright-Patt, but I have been a part of several organizations when they were standing up...invariably, the 1st 3-5 years are in facilities that are worse than some deployed areas (NOTE: this comparison is Army deployments, so I know an Air Force equivalent has a greater delta) The Command should take its time, secure the funding and do it right the first time. Changes to a weak plan will cost more in the long run and slow your growth. I feel your pain -- Good Luck

Completely agree with doing it right. But you know they will go with lowest bidder, who then will have to be redone because of design issues or some other crap.

SMSgt Keith Klug - True, sadly the government's bureaucracy favors the "want it bad, get it bad" environment. Lowest bidder is the default setting/ easy button, but I hope the Space Force Acquisition folks put in the WORK and create a foundation that is both successful and fiscally responsible -- Good Luck
