Warner Robins, Ga. — For the second year in a row, U.S Senator Jon Ossoff has passed legislation into law to upgrade national security facilities at Robins Air Force Base (AFB).
This week, Sen. Ossoff’s Robins Facilities Enhancement Act became law to authorize next steps of construction for the new Battle Management Complex at Robins AFB that will house secure communications networks and allow commanders to communicate with servicemembers in the field faster and more efficiently.
Sen. Ossoff’s Robins Facilities Enhancement Act passed Congress as part of this year’s National Defense Authorization Act and was signed into law yesterday.
In January 2024, Sen. Ossoff passed into law his Robins Air Force Base Battle Management Enhancement Act through the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act, which authorized the first step in construction of the Battle Management Combined Operations Complex. Then this past April, Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $50 million for the new Battle Management Combined Operations Complex at Robins AFB.
“The team protecting our nation at Robins Air Force Base needs continued support for their heroic efforts,” said Sen. Ossoff. “That is why I introduced and have now passed into law this legislation to continue upgrading facilities at Robins Air Force Base.”
Sen. Ossoff continues working to improve conditions and facilities for Georgia’s servicemembers.
In 2022, Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock brought Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed (D-RI) to Robins AFB to highlight the important role Robins AFB plays in U.S. national security.
