Great Falls Organizations Collaborate to Support Malmstrom Air Force Base and Military Community
The Central Montana Defense Coalition and the Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee are collaborating to support Malmstrom Air Force Base. The coalition aims to advocate for federal investment and infrastructure, especially as the Air Force transitions to the Sentinel missile modernization program.
Malmstrom generates about $435.8 million annually in economic impact, employing over 3,200 active-duty personnel. The coalition is open to broader community support and focuses on managing economic risks tied to federal projects.
Meanwhile, the Military Affairs Committee connects airmen and their families with local opportunities. Both organizations stress the need for coordination to maintain Malmstrom's long-term viability.
