Record budget helps Air Force tackle environmental issues
The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center is bringing this year’s “Invest in Our Planet” Earth Day theme to life as the center’s global environmental team continues to support innovative restoration projects driven by a record-high budget. For fiscal year 2023, Congress allocated $749 million for Department of the Air Force environmental restoration actions. Within AFIMSC’s Air Force Civil Engineer Center, the environmental directorate is putting $574 million to work at active installations while the Base Realignment and Closure program spends $175 million for restoration at closed installations.
