The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, based at Wright-Patterson, is the contracting activity.
Total military and civilian employment at the base is approaching 30,000 people. With key logistics and research functions based at Wright-Patterson, the installation is the largest single-site employer in the state of Ohio.
Most recently, the U.S. Air Force named the base its preferred home for the F-35 Lightning II Hybrid Product Support Integrator organization.
Such a designation makes the base the worldwide support hub for all F-35 customers — and opens the door to 440 new Dayton-area jobs.
