A new effort aims to establish a “hubbing” concept that includes realigning existing corrections noncommissioned officer billets across all United States Air Force major commands, closing three corrections facilities and building five new ones. The concept follows Air Force Program Action Directive 12-06 that outlined the need for efficiencies in confinement and corrections to include reducing the burden on installations to operate and upkeep confinement facilities. In addition to using sister-service confinement facilities, the PAD provided for the use of civilian confinement facilities to ensure installation leaders had access to appropriate confinement facilities within a four-hour driving distance. #corrections #USAF #defense
