Base Potential and Future Highlighted
Hill Air Force Base, Utah – Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) participated in an important meeting today at Hill Air Force Base with Acting Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley, and Air Force Chief of Staff Nortan A. Schwartz, who traveled to Hill Air Force Base at Senator Hatch’s invitation.
Senator Hatch extended the invitation to show the new Acting Secretary and Chief of Staff Hill’s capabilities and impressive potential. Sen. Hatch also wanted to discuss the recent events regarding the shipment of sensitive nuclear material to Taiwan from a defense logistics agency warehouse located at Hill.
"I had two purposes in extending this invitation,” stated Hatch. “One was to show off Hill’s impressive capabilities as part of my ongoing and continuing efforts to get greater workload at Hill; and two to demonstrate to the new senior Air Force leadership my absolute confidence in Major General Kathleen Close, her predecessor General Kevin Sullivan, Hill’s entire command, and most importantly the hard work and expertise of Hill’s experienced workforce.
“I greatly appreciated Secretary Donley and Chief of Staff Schwartz’ willingness to travel to Utah to participate in this meeting and see first-hand the military gem we have in our state,” added Hatch. “The meeting was very productive and I am certain that the information exchanged today will be of utmost value.”
