This is a Memorandum for Record (MFR) from the Department of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Special Operations Command dated 27 May 2026, addressing a procurement requirement for a High Rise Escape System.
The 27 Special Operations Support Squadron's Airfield Operations members have requested procurement support for a High Rise Escape System to be installed in Building 128, Control Tower at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico. The current evacuation system, the "Baker Life Chute," is no longer available as the manufacturing company is insolvent and non-operational.
