Internal adjustments reduced staffing computer requirements. The missile and aircraft systems division of the Directorate of Maintenance was also cited by AFLC . officials. Four people in the division, created in December 1981 , came up with the technological research of advanced concepts to save high-costhrow-awa- y items like electronic circuitHboards.
