Specifically, the project entailed researching, identifying and reporting on: • Initiatives/programs implemented by these states and local communities/organizations to sustain and/or enhance their resident military installations and missions. • Relevant state statutes and local regulations which support the military installations, missions and military families. In the study of the 25 states, several factors were analyzed to determine the states’ progress since the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round of 2005. Additionally, an assessment was completed of the contributions that the states have made to assigned military personnel and their families, as well as the veterans residing in the states. The specific factors analyzed consisted of the following: • The overall state employment impact resulting from the BRAC 2005 process as reported in the Commission’s Report to the President (Volume 2). • Military Construction (Milcon) investments made by the DoD and the Congress post BRAC 2005 (from 2006 through 2015) as an indication of mission stability and growth. • An indication of total DoD expenditures in the state, as of 2011, and the amount of the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represented by these expenditures. • Compliance with the 10 Key Issues of the USA4MilitaryFamilies initiative that the DoD and states have partnered on to support the needs of military members and their families. • The State Report Card (2013) published by the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) providing a state-by-state assessment of state-level programs and policies affecting active duty, military retirees, veterans, and family members. • Legislative initiatives passed by state legislatures to support Active Duty, Guard and Reserve, military retirees, veterans, and family members from 2010 – 2014. • Best Practices employed by states to support

After looking at locations in Florida, Wilbur came to Montgomery, Alabama in February 1910 and decided to open the nation’s first civilian flying school on an old cotton plantation near Montgomery that subsequently become Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB).
