Expressing gratitude for the United States military and supporting increased defense readiness through infrastructure development and public-military partnerships.

This Alaska Senate Joint Resolution expresses gratitude to the state's military personnel and supports increased defense readiness through infrastructure development and public-military partnerships. The bill recognizes Alaska's strategic importance to national defense and highlights the need for expanded housing, utilities, and services to accommodate growing military populations at bases like Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Coast Guard facilities. It advocates for enhanced-use leases on underutilized military land to address housing shortages and promotes dual-use facilities that serve both defense and community needs, such as disaster shelters. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal statement of legislative intent to encourage federal support for military infrastructure improvements.
