 'Mega base' in Little Rock is key to Falls station's fate
The Air Force chose Little Rock for expansion over a base in Texas that is targeted to become the national hub for B-1 bombers and a North Carolina base facility that was too small.
Supporters of the Niagara facility say that, while the base also would lose a National Guard unit that flies refueling tankers, the Little Rock build-up is central to the proposed closing.
Niagara advocates also say Pentagon decision makers are ignoring the base's stellar recruitment and retention record - and discouraging people from joining the Air Guard and Reserves by forcing them to serve far from home.

 Hillary Rodham Clinton, Senator for New York: Clinton Calls on Air Force to Disclose Records Regarding Proposed Closure ...
In a letter to General John P. Jumper, Chief of Staff to the United States Air Force, Clinton noted that a review of the Air Force documents and minutes regarding the closure of Niagara reveals significant gaps in the record of the decision to close the Niagara Falls installation.
Senator Clinton is committed to fighting the U.S. Department of Defense recommendation that the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, which includes the 107th Air Refueling Wing and the 914th Airlift Wing, be closed to the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission.
Specifically, please identify the meeting where the closure of Niagara was discussed as well as any declassified material that was not included in material released to the public.

 GOVERNOR MAKES THE CASE FOR NEW YORK’S MILITARY INSTALLATIONS
In May the BRAC Commission recommended the Air Reserve Station be closed, with the C-130 Hercules airlift aircraft operated by the 914th Airlift Wing to be moved to Little Rock, Arkansas and the KC-135R refueling tankers of the 107th Air Refueling Wing be transferred to Bangor, Maine.
Niagara’s hardened and extended runway supports combat fuel operations by the 107th and its location outside the winter weather patterns that affect other Northeast Tanker Taskforce bases provides a lower risk factor than those other facilities.
Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station affords the 914th the ability to maintain the highest levels of readiness by providing access to a 15,000 square mile Low Altitude Training and Navigation area, an assault strip and two drop zones.

The camera also helped locate targets for air strikes or artillery; however, in the selection of targets, electronic sensors demonstrated their value in an operation for which they were not really intended.
The Air Force general protested that Marine airmen were ignoring the airborne battlefield command and control center, and to remedy this he called during February for adoption of a "single manager system" in which all requests for tactical air support would be routed through the Seventh Air Force control center.
As single manager he would be able to obtain the greatest efficiency and economy of force in apportioning air power among targets at Khe Sanh, in the northern provinces of South Vietnam, throughout the rest of that country, and in the adjacent portions of southern Laos and North Vietnam.
