Privatizing the housing is not new; the Air Force has been doing this for years.
What is surprising to me is how small the base is getting in terms of personnel (compared to when I was assigned there, 1980 - 1983).
Data points:
- The base will demolish 286 existing housing units; units remaining: 547 single-family homes
- Since 2006, active duty has declined from 2,450 to 1,200
- Since 2006, civilian workforce has declined from 3,000 to 1,000
Grand Forks AFB is transitioning from a military tanker mission to an unmanned aircraft systems mission.
