Langley Air Force Base may be poised to bring in thousands of additional Air Force intelligence personnel.
The base, part of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, is already set for a major expansion as the Air Force’s formal training unit for F-22 fighter jets moves there from Florida. The move will bring 750 airmen and families to the Peninsula.
“JBLE-Langley is anticipating significant growth in the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission on the installation,” said Bruce Sturk, Hampton’s director of federal facilities support. “They are in the early stages of planning that future growth, and it is contingent on a lot of factors such as funding.”
The Air Force is considering Langley as the location for an East Coast intelligence hub, according to a recent briefing by the regional partnership responsible for keeping local and state officials, as well as the Congressional delegation, aware of federal and military facilities plans for Hampton Roads.

Well I suppose it makes sense, if we must have an east coast location. But why do we need an east coast location? Perhaps it's so Congress can easily come to get first hand briefings but in today's connected age I'm not sure that makes sense. A central location like Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo TX makes more sense. It's already the schoolhouse for this activity for most of the military.

Goodbuddy is too remote for the weenies in Congress, Brother Jack. No matter that it had the Air Force’s only female BG 40 years ago, it was Outer Slabovia to those yokels.

It's incredibly crowded already. I guess they are going to stack them like they do at the Pentagon
