The current facilities \u201clack the redundancy and diversity necessary to ensure continuous communications operations,&#8221; according to the Air Force fiscal year 2017 budget request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without this new facility, the Air Force claimed that Andersen\u2019s communications were at risk of interruptions, be they man-made, technical or natural, and any interruptions could severely impact theater operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, a contract for the facility was expected to be awarded by February 2017 and construction was slated to be completed by December 2018. <a
