Local exchange officials will attend the briefings to answer any questions pertaining to exchange facilities and services on Hill AFB. CI is the AFLC commander's number one initiative to improve Air Force combat capability, readiness, and ability to sustain combat operations. The Worldwide Military Command and Control System is the heart of the LOG C3I system. The WWMCCS Intercomputer Network will connect strategic, tactical and logistics combat elements. The need for a logistics command and control system is increasingly recognized in both the operational and logistics communities. Logistics is integral to combat operations. While the operations commander uses command and control systems to regulate and direct forces to put bombs on target, the logistics commander must use the system to regulate and direct logistics capabilities to put resources where the combat commander can use them. Both can use the system to plan and analyze the current threat, available capabilities and potential logistics or combat actions. In each instance, the system includes feedback of pertinent information to track changing require . Equipment to connect AFLC with the WWMCCS is expected to be installed at AFLC headquarters and at each Air Logistics Center in the fall of 1983. Weapon system data base and assessment models are being developed and tested to run on both WWMCCS and the LOG CSI system. These weapon system models are designed to analyze combat capability. A Weapon System Management Information System currently being developed will draw together the information needed by the Weapon System Program Managers (formerly system managers) and operational decision makers located in the new AFLC Logistics Operations Center and other combat control centers. To house the control systems, AFLC has emcommand post modernizabarked on an AFLC-wid- e tion program. This will include an intersite command post communications network that will allow classified simultaneous voice and visual presentations. Thus, logistics information will be available at the same time to the battle staff at AFLC headquarters, each Air Logistics Center, and ultimatestaff at Headquarters U.S. Air ly to the battle Force. o O What is that smell? awful That putrid odor permeating Hill AFB lately is not due to industrial waste. Neither is it coming from your fellow workers failing to use deodorant. The culprit is the Great Salt Lake. Cause of the odor, according to Mr. Kay Boulter, public affairs representative for the Utah State Natural Resources Department, is this year's extremely high water table at the lake. New marshlands, decaying matter and atmospheric conditions combine to make the swamp gas. Steps have been taken at the Ogden Air Logistics Center to improve our logistical control capability. Col. Harry L. Gregory, director, Plans and Programs, stated that a new operational concept has been developed for our Logistics Readiness Center which will improve the way we manage wartime contingency support. The Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence approach to logistics at Hill AFB will be aimed at saving time and manpower while emphasizing support of Ogden weapons systems deployed worldwide. In keeping with the Pacer Command project, the LRC facility has been renovated and modernized. A key feature of this renovation is the improvement of communications systems. A direct communications net will be established to provide immediate access to centers with the future capability of handling classified information. These innovations will speed the transfer of information and allow greater efficiency. Our concept of decentralized operation with centralized control emphasizes completing tasks at the lowest level while maintaining control through the LRC and is in keeping with the AFLC goal of improving the efficiency of and streamlining the operational capabilities at each sub-contr- ol ALC. "We're excited about this new concept," said Colonel Gregory, "and are eager for an opportunity to try out both it and our new facility."

We'll just have to tighten our belts and get the most out of every dollar we spend!" "Perhaps," replied Sherlock. "Maybe we need to take a different approach and relate savings to dollars rather than worry about lack of energy. Based on the figures you gave me earlier, it appears we should treat energy as if it were money and save dollars in every way possible." "Right," said Dr. Turner. "Everyone can save a little here and a little there and added together it will show millions of energy dollars saved in the Air Force each year." "One last thought, Sherlock," added Dr. Turner. "The energy dollar crisis is real and will be with us for some time to come. And it doesn't take miracles - or magic to reduce energy consumption. Every employee on Hill AFB is a member of our team and can help us save those precious dollars. After all, they're the ones paying for the use of energy and they don't want to pay any more than is necessary!"
