Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones visited Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, Feb. 7. While at Robins, she familiarized herself with the vast array of mission sets the installation had to offer from mission support and software maintenance to surveillance and additive manufacturing. Jones also took time to meet with community leaders to learn about the strong relationship between Middle Georgia and Robins, and she discussed ways to further that engagement even more.
