ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE — After six months on the job, Maj. Gen. Polly Peyer has drawn some fundamental conclusions about the present and future of Robins Air Force Base — conclusions that will hold true, she insists, despite tough economic times, possible cuts in defense spending or even another Base Realignment and Closure process.

Peyer commands the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, the host agency at Robins and the unit most responsible for the $4 billion in economic impact that pours out of the installation each year.

The center directly employs about 15,000 people, largely civilian workers, and it provides worldwide support for the Air Force's F-15 fighters; C-130, C-5 and C-17 airlifters; U-2 aerial reconnaissance aircraft; Global Hawk and other remotely piloted vehicles; software and avionics for most systems and subsystems; electronic warfare and more.
