The House Resolution No. supports President Trump's decision to introduce the F-15EX Eagle II fighter mission at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan, which will replace the retiring A-10 Thunderbolts. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the base, operational since 1917, and its current role housing the 127th Wing of the Michigan Air National Guard, along with various military tenant commands. The base is noted for its substantial economic impact on the state, with nearly 5,000 personnel and an estimated $850 million contribution to the local economy. Recent investments by Michigan in infrastructure improvements at the base are also acknowledged as preparations for the new fighter mission.

The resolution emphasizes the strategic importance of Selfridge Air National Guard Base in enhancing U.S. air superiority and domestic security, particularly along the northern border. It points out that utilizing an Air National Guard base like Selfridge is more cost-effective for taxpayers compared to an active U.S. Air Force base. By supporting the introduction of the F-15EX Eagle II, the resolution aims to secure the future of the base and its mission for years to come. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
