County Board passes resolution of support for 148th Fighter Wing; also issues proclamation for Operation Green Light for Veterans
The St. Louis County Board has issued a resolution expressing its strong support for the Minnesota National Guard 148th Fighter Wing to be selected to receive the F-35 Lightning II mission. The resolution highlights that the 148th being based in Duluth is an ideal location in terms of airspace, noting that it’s the largest and most accessible fighter training airspace in the continental United States; and is strategically located for both homeland defense and arctic readiness. The U.S. Air Force plans to select two National Guard Wings to take delivery of new F-35 Lightning II fighter jets beginning in 2033. With the decision expected to be made in the near future, the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee is leading efforts to support the 148th in being selected for this new mission and to remain an elite fighter wing based in Duluth. “We are fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented fighter wing based in our region, serving our state and country,” said Commissioner Annie Harala, whose district includes the 148th base. “I also want to express gratitude to the Chamber’s Military Affairs Committee for their leadership in coordinating this outpouring of community support for the 148th.”
