Hill/DDO '95 Oral History Project |
| Description |
The Hill/DDO'95 oral history project documents the 1995 and 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process and its impact on Utah. In 1993, rumors started to circulate that Hill Air Force Base and Defense Depot Ogden (DDO) would be closed by the the 1995 round of BRAC, causing state officials, local government, and local grassroots lobbying group, Hill/DDO'95, to spring into action to save Utah's military installations from closure or realignment to other facilities. This project includes interviews from a wide range of players, from congressmen, state officials, members of Hill/DDO'95, and the civilian employees of Hill Air Force Base and (DDO). Their accounts describe the process of fighting for the base, the closure of DDO, the formation of the Utah Defense Alliance (UDA) and Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) from the Hill/DDO'95 group, and their fight to save Hill Air Force Base all over again in 2005. Also discussed is the importance of the F-35 aircraft and the "Falcon Hill" Enhanced Use Lease project to the prosperity of Hill Air Force Base and military relations in Utah. |
