Airmen create control center to support N.D. flood operation
March 31st, 2009
As the Federal Emergency Management Agency teams with the military to fight the Red River flood in North Dakota, Grand Forks Air Force Base officials continue to support the effort as the National Logistics Staging Area.
Twenty-three aircraft, from the Army, Coast Guard, Army National Guard and other Air Force units, landed at Grand Forks AFB and have begun flying missions in support of the flood efforts.
While here, these aircraft are being controlled by a single entity, the Air Operations Center. The AOC is the central command location for all air flood support going in and out of the Grand Forks area.
