75th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
11/5/2014 - HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Even
before he was assigned to command the Ogden Air Logistics Complex,
Brig. Gen. Carl Buhler was impressed with the aircraft maintenance
performed here.
As director of Logistics for Headquarters Pacific Air Forces at Joint
Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Buhler saw maintainers installing F-16
wings that had been repaired at the Ogden ALC.
"I can tell you without question we couldn't survive in PACAF without
the Ogden Air Logistics Complex. We had about 20 percent of our F-16
wings that needed to be changed while I was there, and Ogden cranked out
wings. It is virtually one of the best cradle-to-grave operations I've
ever seen," he said. "We relied on Ogden a lot. From a warfighter's
perspective, the Ogden ALC is essential. Without the ALC, our nation
couldn't do its business."
Buhler assumed command here in early September, his 16th assignment since receiving his Air Force commission in 1989.
"My outlook on the Ogden ALC going forward is cost-effective readiness,"
he said. "As our commander, General Litchfield says -- and I agree with
him 100 percent -- cost-effective readiness leads to the size of our
Air Force that will fight our nation's wars in the future. We can do a
lot of great things, right now, today, that will impact our Air Force
for years and years to come."
