bobdaley Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Tiny I had not heard of any Active duty herks going to the Dorf. Are they having an associate squadron with the AK ANG which is moving to the Dorf from Anchorage? In that case they probably would not move any more aircraft.

tinyclark Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Bob, I've heard form 2 people that they are moving active duty people in. One of them has orders to the C-17 unit, but they have asked him if he wants to work the C130s. Don't know about airframes, or if Kulis is putting the HCs at the Dorf.

Railrunner130 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I was under the impression that Kulis was being turned over to the PANC airport and everybody was going to the Dorf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INS/Dopplertroop Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Gleened from GlobalSecurity.org "Commission Findings: The Commission found that the relocation of the C-130s and helicopters from Kulis to Elmendorf, while consistent with the BRAC selection criteria, would be considerably more expensive than originally estimated. The Commission notes that the Governor of Alaska as well as its Adjutant General supports the relocation of Kulis AGS to Elmendorf, if properly funded. If significantly under-funded, the commission is concerned that the readiness of the Air National Guard unit could be negatively impacted. Therefore, the Commission supports the DoD recommendation to move the ANG C-130 and HH- 60 on Kulis AGS, contingent on the availability of adequate military construction funds to provide the necessary facilities at Elmendorf AFB. The Commission identified no impediments to the proposed realignment of Elmendorf AFB, and relocation of some of its F-15 aircraft to Langley AFB, VA. Elmendorf is scheduled to receive F/A-22 aircraft outside of the BRAC process. The F-15s that remain at Elmendorf would continue to conduct the air sovereignty and other mission in Alaska. Because of changes in other recommendations, the full complement of C-130s may have to come from elsewhere than locations noted in the original recommendation. Commission Recommendations: The Commission found that the Secretary of Defense deviated substantially from final selection criteria 1 and 5, as well as from the Force Structure Plan. Therefore, the Commission recommends the following: Contingent on the availability of adequate military construction funds to provide the necessary facilities at Elmendorf AFB, AK, close Kulis Air Guard Station (AGS), AK. Relocate the 176th Wing (ANG) and associated aircraft (eight C-130Hs, three HC-130Ns, and five HH-60s) and Expeditionary Combat Support (ECS) to Elmendorf Air Force Base, AK. Realign Elmendorf Air Force Base. The 176th Wing at Elmendorf will form an ANG/active duty association with 12 C- 130H aircraft. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Noticed that the they took the wings off the C-123 sitting outside the Kulis gate. Haven't heard anything locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
