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 investments in infrastructure, and strategic geographic 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.

The resolution also emphasizes the exemplary performance of the 121st Air Refueling Wing, which has been recognized as the top KC-135 wing in the Air National Guard and has consistently exceeded its flying hour commitments. The wing's high manning levels and successful execution of overseas deployments further demonstrate its readiness and capability to support critical missions, including those related to 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 garner support for this request.
