U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today announced that he will lead a Congressional Delegation to Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Ga., on Friday, March 4, 2016, for an “East Coast Air Power Demonstration.” Isakson will be joined by Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., as well as top military legislative aides from the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.
 
During the visit to Moody Air Force Base, the delegation will meet with senior officials, tour base facilities and aircraft, and participate in a live fire demonstration. The main focus of the trip will be on the importance of preserving the mission of the A-10 Thunderbolt II and protecting Moody Air Force Base from being negatively impacted by a future Base Closure and Realignment Commission, known as BRAC.
 
Isakson’s Friday visit to Moody Air Force Base is part of a series of Washington, D.C.-based meetings with senior Pentagon officials from each of the branches of the armed services and visits to Georgia military installations led by Isakson to highlight the importance of Georgia-based equities and assets and the critical roles each play in our national defense.
