The ANG planned to construct KC-135 facilities at Fort Wayne that would have duplicated vacant facilities at Grissom ARB. The military construction (MILCON) projects were planned to support the conversion of the 122nd Fighter Wing from its mission of F-16 fighter aircraft to KC-135 refueling tanker aircraft. Despite an ANG study showing one-time cost savings of about $25.5 million by relocating the 122nd Fighter Wing to nearby Grissom ARB, the ANG decided to keep the 122nd Fighter Wing at Fort Wayne and construct facilities. The ANG based that decision primarily on perceived recruiting difficulties in the Grissom ARB area. The perceived recruiting problems were not supported. On September 30, 1994, the ANG announced cancellation of the planned conversion of the 122nd Fighter Wing at Fort Wayne, and on October 4, 1994, it canceled eight MILCON projects related to the conversion, totaling $28.4 million.
