RESOLUTION BY THE
HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TO OPPOSE THE ELIMINATION OF THE
440TH AIRLIFT WING AT FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLINA
THAT WHEREAS, Fort Bragg is home to the nation's rapid deployment capability with
more than 57,000 military personnel; and
WHEREAS, Airborne and Special Operating Forces train and prepare for no -notice aerial
delivered deployment in support of homeland and global missions; and
WHEREAS, the Air Force 440th Airlift Wing, stationed at Fort Bragg, provides resident
capability to operate the rapid deployment airfield and facilitate deployment training; and
WHEREAS, Harnett County has long had a close relationship with Fort Bragg, Pope
Army Airfield and its operations, which provide an invaluable asset to the county and its
residents; and
WHEREAS, the Air Force's 2015 budget proposal submitted in early March calls for the
decommission of the 440th Airlift Wing, and the removal of the C -130H aircraft from Fort
Bragg; and
WHEREAS, the 440th is a critical component in the high level training and timely
deployment of our Airborne and Special Operations, providing approximately 23 percent of the
training missions for paratroopers at Fort Bragg; and
WHEREAS, the placement of the C -130H at Fort Bragg has proven to be a critical asset
to mission essential parameters of rapid response, global reach of the forces, and critical training
of the forces; and
WHEREAS, the C -130J has been brought into service as a newer and faster model of the
C -130H, but none have been delivered at Fort Bragg, and plans to do so were delayed; and
WHEREAS, the C -130H aircraft would be distributed to other reserve units around the
country; and
WHEREAS, with those delays and the redistribution of the C -130H, the 440th's future
mission readiness will be diminished, as the Air Force would no longer have aircraft at Fort
Bragg; and
WHEREAS, the deactivation of the 440th and the loss of the C -130H could impact some
1,600 jobs in our community and remove some $77.8 million from our local economy; and
WHEREAS, many of those employed by the 440th live in Harnett County and patronize
Harnett County businesses; and

training and readiness capability.

Commissioners:
1 Strongly opposes the elimination of the 440th Airlift Wing and the removal of the C -
130H aircraft from Fort Bragg.
