On July 27, the U.S. Senate took one step closer to solidifying Alaska as a critical place in the Arctic national security, passing the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act.
This included 33 provisions by Sullivan granting Alaska $168 million in military construction and equipment for Alaska and the Arctic.
“It really comes back to the father of the U.S. Air Force Billy Mitchell saying Alaska’s the most strategic place in the world and what I’ve been trying to do through these defense authorization acts, is make sure the military shows that with significant military construction, funding and investment,” Sullivan said.“I was told by senior military officials that is going to make JBER probably the most important strategic airbase in the world,” Sullivan said.
