National Security
Columbus is home to Fort Moore, home to the Infantry School, the Armor School and a major power projection platform for the United States Army. Georgia Democrats have a long history of support for our national defense. Georgia is home to 13 active-duty military installations that play a critical role in Georgia’s economy. These bases and their surrounding communities house, support and employ approximately one million Veterans, retirees, active duty and reserve service members, civilian employees, and their families. Georgia Democrats remain committed to protecting and preserving Georgia’s role in America’s national security strategy by strengthening our support for Veterans and their families. We must provide good care for our service members, Veterans, and their families in recognition of their service and sacrifice and ensure their benefits are protected.
