Joint basing at Charleston moves forward with activation of 628th ABW: "Eighteenth Air Force officials activated the 628th Air Base Wing during an assumption-of-command ceremony Jan. 8 at Charleston AFB.
The activation of the 628th ABW is the latest step toward the stand up of Joint Base Charleston Jan. 31.
The joint base stand up in late January will begin the next phase in an ongoing process to merge Charleston AFB with Naval Weapons Station Charleston as a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Program.
A total of 12 joint bases across the Department of Defense will have been established when the last one stands up."
