The $700 billion legislation, in addition to authorizing funding appropriations and setting forth policies for Department of Defense programs and activities, includes language that repeals a clause in the 1989 National Defense Authorization Act that set Lockheed Martin as the sole private entity allowed to use the 10,000-foot runway at Dobbins. The base is home to the U.S. Air Force’s 94th Airlift Wing and host to thousands of Guardsmen, reservists and civilians from the Army, Navy and Marines.

 

Perdue called the restriction part of an “outdated law” that had “prevented the base from being utilized to its fullest potential.”

 

Another provision of the bill, according to Perdue, will have an effect on Dobbins’ neighbor as it calls for the order of 20 C-130J Super Hercules aircraft manufactured by Lockheed Martin’s Marietta facility.

 

Isakson has said the bill would also benefit Georgia’s dozen-plus military installations and lauded a 20,000-plus troop increase and 2.4 percent pay raise for service members included within it.
