...Force has taken the lead in recognizing the advantages of farming out maintenance. Starting in the hard-pressed days of the Korean war, it has increased private contracts to nearly 60% of the estimated $772 million it will spend (exclusive of servicemen's pay) on maintenance in fiscal 1957.

It is the home of NATO South, a paper command manned by a relative handful of officers and enlisted men whose presence has spawned a fabulous aggregation of 6,000 men, women...
