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, significant infrastructure investments, and strategic location that allows for efficient access to a large percentage of Department of Defense customers. Additionally, Rickenbacker is equipped with modern facilities and capabilities that support the operational needs of the KC-46, making it a prime candidate for the aircraft's basing.

The resolution also emphasizes the exceptional performance of the 121st Air Refueling Wing, which has been recognized for its operational excellence, including exceeding flying hour commitments and successfully executing numerous deployments and exercises. The wing's high manning levels and its role in supporting critical defense operations, such as the Nuclear Triad, further underscore its qualifications. 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.
