Robins Air Force Base and local community officials will sign the first of several agreements to share resources and reduce operating and service costs.

Planning meetings have taken place since February between base organizations and local businesses, educational institutions, governments and private companies to explore ways the base can collaborate on services as part of the Air Force Community Partnerships Initiative.

The base is one of several Air Force installations to receive funding this fiscal year to explore opportunities for partnerships.

The memorandums of agreement will be signed Monday at Flint Energies in Warner Robins.

The initial MOAs will involve the sharing of firing ranges between local law enforcement agencies and the 78th Security Forces Squadron.

Other agreements will involve continuing medical education opportunities between regional healthcare entities and the base medical clinic, and work/study programs between regional colleges and universities and the Robins Education and Training
Office.

Additional partnership opportunities are continuing to be developed.

These will add to a number of partnerships which already exist, including support for emergency response capabilities between base and city fire, law enforcement and emergency services.
