Being so close together, seems a "superbase" concept could be used for Mildenhall/Lakenheath? Or do they do something like this already? Yes it looks like Mildenhall will shutter, but Lakenheath will be a plus up. Could they use the housing etc at Mildenhall? Or will this be typical DoD plan to build shiny new stuff like HQ buildings and new housing at Lakenheath, when perfectly good stuff a few miles away is left to rot away....
I get that no one wants to keep two bases fully up and running and pay for two runways, crash trucks, day care centers, bowling alleys, etc and you can't move hangars and runways, it just seems like such a waste when good stuff goes to waste, especially when it it so close together.
