Realignment of Mountain Home Air Force Base and Proposed Expanded Range Capability

Abstract

The Commission recommended transfer of assets from George AFB to MHAFB involving 94 F-4E and G electronic combat aircraft and approximately 3,500 personnel. To accommodate the additional aircraft and personnel at MHAFB, the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) at MHAFB will transfer 35 F-111A aircraft and approximately 1,600 personnel to other units. This will result in a net increase of 59 aircraft operating from MHAFB. The realignment of MHAFB will enhance command and control of electronic warfare operations by consolidating F-4G electronic combat and surface-to-air suppression functions with EF-111 electronic jamming air defense suppression aircraft (described in Appendix A) and will increase mission effectiveness at a reduced cost. The nature of the missions and combat roles assigned to the F-4s being transferred to MHAFB will require more range time per aircraft than for the departing F-111As. It is expected that the training requirements for the F-4s alone will nearly triple the annual usage of the SCR
