"I 'd like to see if we can increase some of the activity done by 'Company A' for us the Air Force and see if rve can't make it attractive enough for them to come and do their work on the depot," Viccellio said. Work for commercial customers would be done after regular Air Force business hours. The statute 10 USC 2471 allows lease of excess depot-leve- l equipment and facilities as determined by the secretary of the Air Force. The contractor reimburses the Air Force for equipment and facilities, which are leased at market value. Revenue generated goes to the U.S. Treasury. "Why would we want to do this?" Viccellio asked, citing: Efficiency "Greater use of facilities shares the overhead across a broader base." Effectiveness "Commercial operators have a lot planes and units, and, after 3Vi rounds of Base Realign- ment and Closure, not quite 40 percent fewer bases. We are becoming a smaller outfit as a result of the end of the Cold War." He said the Air Force is reposturing so 85 percent of the force is stationed in the United States. "When the time comes for a contingency like Desert Storm, we'll go, take care of the mission and come back home," Viccellio said. "We're also changing the relationship between an active Air Force and the Guard and Reserve. The Cold War was the only time in our history that we had a large active force and a small backup reserve force. We're now returning to the traditional posture. Looking back to the time of Paul Revere up to today, we predominantly won the war by the citizen soldiers coming out of society and taking care of tensions." of good ideas about the overall process. Working side by side can provide a lot of input about how to do business." Security "I like the idea of keeping depots warm and operating with the industrial base, so if we need them again, we'll have them. "Under budget pressure, we are making every effort we can to become better businessmen," Viccellio said. "That doesn't mean we haven't been good stewards of the dollar in the past, but we need to pay attention to the costs of what we do. I'm talking about looking at the way we do business with a business person's eye." The general also noted how the depot structure shows the results of a changing world and Air Force. "When we look ahead at the end of the century from the Air Force I've spent 35 years in, we have come down roughly 40 percent," he said. "Forty percent fewer people, 40 percent smaller budget, 40 percent fewer News Briefs n Hospital minimally staffed Friday The Hill AFB Hospital will be minimally staffed Aug. 30 from noon to 4:30 p.m. due to a 75th Medical Group Commander's Call.
