Langley officials take first step toward Joint Base Langley-Eustis

Langley officials take first step toward Joint Base Langley-Eustis: "Officials from the 1st Fighter Wing here will release two of its four groups to the soon-to-be-established 633rd Air Base Wing Jan. 7; the first step toward the congressionally directed Joint Base Langley-Eustis that begins initial operational capability next month.

The purpose of the 633rd ABW is to optimally organize Langley Air Force Base as the supporting component to Army Fort Eustis in the joint base model.

'We are proud of the relationships we have built with our counterparts at Langley AFB and the work we have accomplished thus far,' said Army Col. Glenn Grothe, the Fort Eustis garrison commander. 'While this is a significant accomplishment, we are continuing our momentum through the implementation phase of the process."
