Efforts by elected officials in Arizona have paid off with the promise of a Predator unmanned aerial vehicle squadron to be operated by Air National Guardsmen at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, near Tucson, and Ft. Huachuca, near Sierra Vista, reports the Tucson Citizen. Working on the allocation were Sen. John McCain, Rep. Jim Kolbe, and Gov. Janet Napolitano.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
