Is there anything preventing volunteers to maintain the state’s guard units?
BTW, don’t hear anything about this pi$$ant sized state of Delaware losing Dover AFB or the Air Guard in New Castle. Politics, you think?
Michigan’s A-10’s are part of the 127th Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Sure it politics! Selfridge Field became a military airfield and base in 1917. One of these days they’ll finally succeed in closing it down.
It wasn’t too long ago that Michigan had at least four Air Force Bases, two Air National Guard Bases, the bombing range in Grayling, Alpena Combat Readiness Command (Phelps-Collins)...Today, all that’s left air power-wise is Selfridge ANGB and soon there will be none anywhere in the state.
