The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio requests that the Secretary of the Air Force designate the 121st Air Refueling Wing at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus, Ohio, as the preferred main operating base for the KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft. The resolution highlights the base's numerous advantages, including its two 12,000-foot runways suitable for heavy aircraft, significant infrastructure investments made by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, and its strategic location that allows for efficient access to a large percentage of Department of Defense customers. Additionally, Rickenbacker is noted for its modern facilities, low risk of natural disasters, and the operational readiness of the 121st Air Refueling Wing.

The resolution emphasizes the exemplary performance of the 121st Air Refueling Wing, which has been recognized as a top unit within the Air National Guard, exceeding its flying hour commitments and demonstrating high levels of manning and operational capability. The wing has successfully executed numerous overseas deployments and exercises, contributing significantly to national defense, including support for the Nuclear Triad. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to relevant federal officials and media outlets to advocate for the selection of Rickenbacker as the main operating base for the KC-46 Pegasus.
