| YouTube: Barksdale AFB to create new jobs Barksdale Air Force Base is likely to add about 750 jobs in the coming year as it increases its focus on flight training and reopens a weapons storage area, according to Lieutenant General Robert J. Elder. The Air Force is expected deploy its new B-52 squadron in North Dakota, but training should add 300 new full-time jobs at the base near Shreveport. Additional plans to reopen Barksdale's weapons storage area will add up to 500 jobs. Barksdale also is among contenders to be headquarters of the new Global Strike Command, which could add between 750 to 1000 people, Elder said. Barksdale and North Dakota's Minot AFB, the nation's two B-52 wings, will alternate nuclear and conventional missions. This is one of the changes made in response to a series of missteps in the handling and oversight of nuclear weapons, including the flight of a B-52 mistakenly armed with nuclear missiles from Minot Air Force Base to Barksdale in August 2007. |
