SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTVM) - The Combat Readiness Training Center prepares Georgia airmen for combat, but it’s in danger of shutting down. There’s bipartisan backlash to that portion of President Joe Biden’s 2023 budget request, that includes the elimination of the Georgia Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center in Savannah.
“This is the beginning, it’s not the end. The President’s budget is a proposal. So this is the beginning. We’ve got to go through the budget process ourselves in the House, and that’s where we’re going to change minds,” U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia said.
Georgia leaders like Republican U.S. Representative Buddy Carter and Democrat Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock are coming together to convince others in Washington of the importance of the CRTC, which brings in fighter pilots from all over the country to train off Georgia’s coast.
