The service had postponed establishing a third composite wing at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia but recently resumed planning and budgeting for the wing. At the request of your subcommittee, we determined the cost of establishing the two wings. We are also providing cost information on pending decisions involving these wings and establishing the third.' COST SUMMARY To establish two composite wings, the Air Force plans to spend $143 million, of which $27 million was obligated by December 31, 1992. Of the remaining $116 million, the Air Force plans to spend $43.3 million at Pope, $26.9 million at Mountain Home, and $45.6 million to rebase the C-130 aircraft and affiliated units leaving Pope to make room for the composite wing. Costs could increase by another $109 million depending upon what the Air Force decides to do about some matters relating to these two composite wings. In addition, costs could further increase by $34 million if the Air Force decides to establish a third composite wing at Moody. 'On May 5, 1993, we issued a report evaluating the basis for the decision to establish composite wings.
