Tillis Statement On Delay Of The Deactivation of Fort Bragg’s 440th Airlift Wing
“I’m pleased the Air Force has decided to delay the deactivation of the 440th Airlift Wing, as this decision should be more than a budget issue – it is critical for the current and future security of our nation,” said Senator Tillis. “Keeping the 440th Airlift Wing active for an additional year is the direct result of a concerted effort of North Carolina’s Congressional delegation to ensure that bureaucrats do not negatively hamper America’s combat readiness. I will continue to work with my colleagues to help save the 440th Airlift Wing and protect the C-130H presence at Pope Airfield.”
