U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today visited Moody Air Force Base to receive an update on base operations.

Senator Perdue met with 23rd Wing Vice Commander Colonel Benjamin Conde, 93rd Air Ground Operations Wing Commanding Officer Colonel Danielle Willis, and Colonel Gerald Ferdinand of the 81st Fighter Squadron.

“Georgia’s nine military installations are not only important to our national defense strategy, but they also support quality jobs and economic opportunity across our state,” said Senator Perdue. “In this year’s defense bill, we fought to protect the A-10 aircraft at Moody Air Force Base, bring critical attention to Air Ground Operations Wings, and keep other missions on track. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I’m committed to ensuring our women and men in uniform have the resources they need to maintain our military advantage.”
