LaMalfa Announces Army Contract to Support Beale Air Force Base

Washington, D.C.-Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) issued the following statement after the Army awarded a $10.2 million contract for updates to the Aircrew Readiness Facility at Beale Air Force Base. The project will support the 940^th Air Refueling Wing, which handles midair refueling operations that keep our military aircraft flying longer and farther.

"I appreciate President Trump's steady support for military readiness here in Northern California. Refueling units like the 940^th at Beale are a key part of our ability to respond anywhere in the world on short notice. Updating this facility means crews can train, prepare, and stay sharp right here at home. It's important that the Pentagon continues to recognize the role bases like Beale play in keeping our country strong and prepared," said Rep. LaMalfa.

Work will take place at Beale Air Force Base, with completion expected by October 2026.

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties.
