The Army Aviation Technology Office's (Formerly Flight Concepts Division) New 'Battalion Complex' at Felker Army Airfield is well under construction; note that this imagery is old, and construction is presumably much further along than what is seen here. coordinates: For those unaware, this component of the army provides clandestine aviation support to Special Forces, mostly via helicopter, but also C130s and C27Js, and is believed to have overseen operation of the Stealth Blackhawks during the OBL raid. It is rumored that this facility may become home to a future high speed short takeoff and landing (possibly stealth) special forces transport plane - this project concept seems to have waxed and waned a few times over the last couple decades, but seems to be coming back on the radar yet again so keep your eyes peeled. you can read more about it here: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/25813/the-mysterious-saga-of-americas-hunt-for-a-stealth-special-operations-transport-part-2
