BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. --
Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Commander, Gen. Thomas A. Bussiere, held a virtual town hall Feb. 23 with current and former missile community members currently serving throughout several organizations to provide updates on environmental sampling results, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) mitigation efforts, and the results from the first phase of the epidemiologic cancer study.
A team comprised of experts and leaders from both the AFGSC Surgeon General’s Office, and the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) began the virtual town hall by providing results from environmental sampling of all 45 Missile Alert Facilities (MAFs) at the three active Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) wings. The results were the second of three seasonal rounds of testing, with 2,400 samples taken at each base. All air, water and soil samples were below laboratory limits of detection or were within acceptable regulatory levels for any chemicals or hazards, according to AFGSC Surgeon General, Col. Gregory A. Coleman.
