How come, as some claim, the CO at Nellis has no idea of the base closing
but
guys on this NG are "in the loop" and know stuff the base CO doesn't. How
come?

Because there is no "list". My own Base CO at Goodfellow has told us
several in rumor control sessions that the only "list" that exists is in the
fevered imagination of some web weirdo.



I never said that. You did. (grin)

Tenant units that do not fall under the host wing generally take care of
their own mission but, when it comes to base issues, still follow direction
from the wing commander.

Which includes units such as numbered Air Forces. Kind of strange an O-6 can
tell an O-9, who's directly above him in the chain of command, where and how
his HQ will be supported. Now I'm sure theres a little "give and take", but
ultimately the WG/CC controls how, when and where the HQ for a numbered Air
Force is supported.

My previous assignment was at Travis, in the 60AMW and then at HQ 15AF.

I certainly wasn't in THAT loop but it didn't seem to be that big of a deal;
the NAF really doesn't require that much support. The biggest tussle seemed
to be over personnel moves. NAF would demand a certain person for a job, the
wing didn't want to give them up... Usually solved over a beer at the
generic, I mean, all-ranks club (wait till Art reads this). Protocol being
what it is, and since the NAF would be down to administer an ASEV to the
wing sooner or later, I'm sure the WG/CC was always happy to keep the NAF/CC
happy.

Pretty much one wing one base.

There are some smaller units that may be at other locations, and assigned to
a wing somewhere else and some bases, such as Eglin have more than one Wing,
but it is pretty much one for one. Groups have gone to the smallish size as
in Combat Support Group, Ops Group, etc. Part of the wing base structure.

Oh my, how things have changed.

No more base CC, "One Wing, One Boss" is the mantra of the modern Air
Force.

Unless USAF has seriously changed the structure of a wing since I
retired in '84, there is both a Base Commander and his boss, the Wing
King.

Thanks for the clarification.
