All aircraft that operate within Europe Are being turned Over to Safe. All transcontinental Airlift missions will remain with Mac. About 3,000 positions will be transferred from Mac to Safe in the shift said Brig. Gen. Jim Hobson commander of the 322nd Airlift div at Ramstein a Germany. The 322nd oversees macs european operations and has major subordinate units at Raf Mildenhall Rhein main Ramstein and in Turkey at in Ciurlik a. The restructuring will include drawing Down the 322nd, Hobson said. A we will lower our Flag sometime in the Spring a Hobson said wednesday. Some of the 322nd�?Ts slots that Are dedicated to Intra theater operations meaning those that do not involve movement Between the states and overseas will be shifted to Safe at Ramstein Hobson said. Another change at Rhein main will be the formation of a new military Airlift group to handle Enro Ute Airlift traffic such As gassing up air planes cargo loading and unloading services. The 21st�?Ts stateside Headquarters also will be affected Kondra said losing roughly half of the staff which currently numbers about 200. The Tanker Airlift control Center a new organization to be based at least temporarily at Mac Headquarters will assume some responsibilities that have been handled by the 322nd and the 21st, Kondra said. The Center will work around the clock seven Days a week to tackle such responsibilities As control Airlift operations through Europe and managing the strategic Airlift Mission in the 21st�?Ts european and Middle East area of operations.

A but in addition to this they air mobility come will now be responsible for the scheduling and controlling of the Tanker Force a Kondra said. Not All tankers will be affected Kondra noted. Some tankers will be assigned to units in Europe while others will become part of composite wings. A what you really have is a marriage of mobility assets a tankers and air lifters a under one Central control that takes two very scarce assets and puts them under control to try and get the most efficient use out of them a Kondra explained. Kondra noted this does no to mean tankers will be scheduled just for Airlift refuelling missions.
