Waste Is Admitted In Far North Base
The Pentagon disclosed that spare parts worth tens of millions were buried as useless at nine Far North bases in Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador during the Korean War and are now being recovered or returned to stock. Pentagon officials testified the loss arose from rapid base activation, changing aircraft types, and inexperienced inventory handling, with investigations locating buried salvage and substantial on hand stocks at Harmon Air Force Base and six other northern bases. The Senate subcommittee heard testimony on accountability and whether such losses could recur.
