Currently, the LRAFB does not have a training facility which will provide continued support of the C-130H/J series training mission and its expansion due to C-130 force structure actions. Due to the necessary increases required for aircrew production and initiatives to eliminate use of aircraft as ground trainers, additional classroom space and offices are required to meet the expansion of the training program. Specifically, the new facility will house three (3) high-bay C-130H model FuTs, four (4) high-bay C-130J FuTs, cargo training (with night vision capabilities) and associated K-loader equipment storage requirements, classrooms, briefing rooms, secure rooms, offices, restrooms, storage, communication equipment room, electrical/mechanical rooms, and general circulation. New site improvements will include access roads, parking lots, and utilities.
