Prepare now, officials urge, as NC braces for major ice storm
A state of emergency remains in effect for North Carolina as a winter storm of snow, sleet, and freezing rain gets ready to take aim at the state this weekend.
Despite the federal government shutdown, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) passed the Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) last week, which includes funding for North Carolina military installations.
Inside the Senate's 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) now headed to the US Senate floor, a provision prohibits the Air Force from divesting F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro through 2029. The US Air Force plans to shelve 26 Strike Eagles from Seymour Johnson next year.
