US Air Force’s top logistician in Europe explains how deployable air bases can change operations
By: Valerie Insinna   

On July 31, several U.S. Air Force civil engineers were tapped to do some airfield work for the Polish armed forces. The troops were participating in the DABS exercise. (Valerie Insinna/Staff).

KRZESINY, Poland — When Brig. Gen. Roy Agustin first took the job of director of logistics, engineering and force protection in 2015 for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa, the service had a handful of major operating bases in western Europe.

But as the Air Force has ramped up training and exercises in the region in response to growing Russian aggression, it has also increased its level of investments in military construction and pre-positioned equipment that would enable the service to deploy to eastern Europe if necessary.
