Falcon Hill West Gate changes still to come , BY MARY Lou GORNY Hilltop Times editor FALCON HILL C hanges continue near the Building 1200 series and the West Gate. At this point a three-way stop has been added at the intersection of Wardleigh Road and Colorado Street. A four-way stop at Georgia Street and Wardleigh was also N AIIONAL. ALROSP.ACE RESEARCH PARK planned in order to ensure entry into the 1200 Building series for motorists going north on Wardleigh. Dogwood Lane no longer allows access into the lower 1200 Building series from "M" Street. The only way to access that area is either through the ramp in the middle of the 1200 series or via Georgia Street. Security entry control will move to the new West Gate on March 12. In April a plan has been set in motion to allow for Friday closures beginning April 13, to begin demolition of the old gate. Only inbound traffic will be allowed 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. Monday through Thursday at the West Gate. From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. only outbound traffic will be allowed Monday through Thursday. Any other access when the gate is open during demolition will be limited to one inbound and one outbound lane. RIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio 4 The president has nominated Air Force Materiel Command Vice Commander Lt. Gen. C.D. Moore II for appointment as commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. The nomination was announced by Air Force officials Feb. 29. Pending Senate confirmation, Moore will lead the new center to be located at Wright-Patterson. AFLCMC will provide life-cycle management of Air Force weapon systems and other capabilities. It is Lt. Gen. Moore the result of an AFMC-wide restructure that will consolidate the missions now performed by the Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson, the Electronic Systems Center at Hanscom AFB, Mass., the Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB, Fla., and some functions at other AFMC bases. AFLCMC will also include the new Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation Directorate, formerly the Air Force Security Assistance Center, at Wright-Patterson. The center is expected to reach initial operational capability Oct. 1, 2012. The AFMC restructure was announced Nov. 2, as part of several Air Force efficiency efforts. The restructure will cut overhead costs and redundant layers of center headquarters staffs and is expected to generate Air Force savings of $109 million annually. The restructure will improve AFMC's overall management of the Air Force's research and development, test and evaluation, life cycle management and sustainment of weapon systems and nuclear support, and will allow AFMC to provide better support to the warfighter and use taxpayer dollars more efficiently. Prior to his assignment as AFMC vice commander in October 2011, Moore was the deputy director of the Joint Strike Fighter Program Office in Arlington, Va. Moore's previous assignments include deputy director of the Global Power Directorate in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition at the Pentagon, and deputy director of the Capabilities Integration and Transformation Directorate at See MOORE I page 10 NEW COAT 01 ALEX R.
