Base Visit Book - Pittsburgh International Airport Air Reserve Station prepared for General Lloyd W. Newton (USAF, Ret) on 21 June 2005 DOD RECOMMENDATION is to close Pittsburgh International Airport (IAP) Air Reserve Station (ARS), PA, and relocate 911th Airlift Wing's (AFRC) eight C-130H aircraft to Pope / Fort Bragg to form a 16 aircraft Air Force Reserve/active duty associate unit. Relocate AFRC operations and maintenance manpower to Pope / Fort Bragg. Relocate flight related ECS (aeromedical squadron) to Youngstown-Warren Regional APT ARS. Relocate all remaining Pittsburgh ECS and headquarters manpower to Offutt Air Force Base, NE. Air National Guard units at Pittsburgh are unaffected. DOD JUSTIFICATION is that the major command's capacity briefing reported Pittsburgh ARS land constraints prevented the installation from hosting more than 10 C-130 aircraft . . . . Careful analysis of mission capability indicates that it is more appropriate to robust the proposed airlift mission
