Central Montana Defense Coalition

The Central Montana Defense Coalition works to sustain and enhance existing military missions and pursue future missions.

As home to Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Montana Air National Guard, defense missions are an important part of the Great Falls regional economy.

GFDA helped form the Alliance and continues to be a key partner and financial supporter. Key partners also include Cascade County, City of Great Falls, Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, and Great Falls International Airport.
