U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson calls departure of 440th wing ‘short-sighted decision’
Two-term U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, who represents the 8th District, calls the departure of the 440th Airlift Wing on Fort Bragg “a short-sighted decision” that has spawned a series of troubling issues.
The Army long opposed Air Force plans to shut down the 440th, fearing that it could compromise training.
“The process is done for the 440th now,” Hudson said Thursday during a visit to The Fayetteville Observer newsroom. “The Air Force had to make its decisions based on limited resources.”
