Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA-11) announced late last week that he has asked the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to increase the number of new C-130J aircraft, which are manufactured at Lockheed Martin’s facility in Marietta, Georgia.

Loudermilk wrote a letter last week to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and urged the DOD to increase the number of new C-130J aircraft in the Fiscal Year 2023-2028 budget request.

Enforcement of the policies – announced in November – has been put on holding pending resolution in the high court. Written rulings could come within a matter of days.
