The resolution notes the economic impact of the base, which supports nearly 5,000 personnel and contributes approximately $850 million to the state's economy, as well as the ongoing investments made by Michigan for facility upgrades in anticipation of 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 calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
