2d Bomb Wing Command Post relocates Published Jan. 27, 2011 By Airman 1st Class Sean Martin 2 Bomb Wing Public Affairs BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. -- The 2d Bomb Wing command post will soon move to a new location, providing more space for people and equipment to carry out the mission. The wing command post, currently operating from Air Force Global Strike Command headquarters, will soon transfer to Bldg. 3433, the 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron headquarters. "The move will allow AFGSC and the 2 BW command functions to operate independently," said Lt. Col. David Brosius, Barksdale Command Post chief. The purpose of the 2 BW's command post is to monitor wing-level operations, serving as the eyes and ears for the wing commander. The new command post will be fully mission capable with transferred or replaced equipment. A new building is also slated to be built alongside the new command post that will house satellite communications equipment vital for the command post to stand up. The equipment includes radios, a Klaxon system and a Tactical Aircrew Alerting Network, which is a one way pager to the aircrew members. A new 145-foot radio tower will be constructed as well. "This will support the U.S. Strategic Command's mission," said Senior Master Sgt. Eric Muhlenbruch, 2 BW command post superintendent. The move will have minimal impact on AFGSC and 2 BW missions. The final move is set to take place sometime in the spring of 2011.
