Fighting to keep the F-16 squadron at Alaska's Eielson Air Force Base
US Sen. Mark Begich questions Defense Sec. Leon Panetta about the legality of trying to move the F-16 squadron from Alaska's Eielson Air Force Base to Joint-Base Elmendorf Richardson outside of the formal BRAC process and also for the rationale of proposing the move without first doing a financial analysis. The questioning took place on 2/28/2012 at a Budget Committee hearing on the Department of Defense Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2013.

Fighting for Eielson's F-16s
February 4, 2012 - While visiting Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Sen. Begich speaks about the need for the Air Force to keep F-16 aircraft stationed at Eielson Air Force Base. This follows an announcement by the Air Force to move Eielson's F-16s to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. Sen. Begich is fighting this decision, which sidesteps a decision to keep the F-16s at Eielson in 2005. Sen. Begich has spoken off on behalf of Eielson to Defense Secretary Panetta and authored legislation to deny the Department of Defense funds to make the relocation happen.
