- A plan to consolidate Air Force and Space Force personnel which could force the relocation of hundreds of Air Force personnel from several states. Gov. Jared Polis, as well as some of those Airmen, say they don't want to leave Colorado.
The whole point of the National Guard and Reserves is to allow opportunities for American citizens who want to serve our country and soldiers who were in the Air Force or Army to continue to serve our country by staying in their home state. One of the biggest reasons soldiers refrain from relisting is that they constantly move around and are far from family.
Guard is more than that.
It's to bad that they are putting illegal immigrants before, the American Citizens. They hate American people
You make it sound like this was just a training program. I think you missed the mark on this one.
Dude if you join any branch of the military your supposed to expect to be deployed somewhere no matter where your from. You can be from Ohio and be deployed in New York.
It's the job
Recruiting for Army and Air National guard will tank if this continues and the Pentagon will blame the recruiters for trying to squeeze water from a stone.
Separate issue is if Colorado has a natural disaster, they will have a reduced quick reaction force
The unit in question is not set up to deal with natural disasters other than as extra muscle
As a michigander leave the sword and shield that belongs to Colorado in Colorado
resign your commission if you dont want to move
Bet you wouldn't say that if the person speaking was a White Male........
they will. .and some dumb bureaucrat will start crowing about how much money he saved.
I can definitely see them losing most of their personnel if the unit transfers!!
Doing same in Alaska getting rid of nat guard who stop nukes/icbms from entering. If ykyk.
I'm not sure if moving the National guard like that is even legal. What they are contemplating is doing an end run around the state Governor to mobilize the Guard for the convinced of the Pentagon. Someone needs to remind the brass at the Pentagon that many of the guard are only there part time and have regular jobs where they live and that mobilization is at the discretion of the state Governor.
The alternative is to shut down the unit and create a new Space Guard unit.
Any personnel moves will be voluntary, they are looking at moving the Federal mission, so if the personnel choose not to move, they would have to find another Colorado Guard position if they want to continue their service.
We are already facing a recruiting crisis, now the pentagon want to mess with the people that are already serving. Great job Pentagon, y’all are very smart! 👏🏻🤦🏻♂️
Worst administration this country has ever seen.
Lol
I wholeheartedly concur with you!
aby entity government while fighting for freedom
Unfortunately when the states agreed to deals in which they were allowed to send their respective state guard to the army for training, they also signed away their rights to keep their guard in state and to decide when they are activated. This is why individual state guards are sent over seas when they really shouldn’t be.
Isn't one of the defining factors of the national guard that you serve locally, except in cases of emergency?
Otherwise why would anybody sign up for the National Guard as opposed to other branches that give better career opportunities? If you are going to take actions to decimate it, you might as well completely eliminate the guard altogether and use the other more focused branches of the military for all of its functions and responsibilities.
think maybe that's the idea in the long run? .why do you think you never hear of state militias anymore?
I cannot believe that Governor said that "they're going to transfer over to national". That was either a grievous error in words or he is that ignorant. They would have to transfer over to Federal not national.
❤ National = no states = no state's rights = LDS #DEZNAT = new religion/govt = bad.
It’s a test. Draft test
Unless it's A Certified National Emergency, The Pentagon can't do Squat
😂😂😂😂😂😂you don’t know anything about the military do you 🤦♂️🙄. They should have read the fine print on their contracts 😂. Every last one of them can be involuntary activated for national security.
@@smyers820gm WRONG! Only if They are Federalized, Can The Pentagon give Them Orders.
Seriously, Stop getting Your Info from Cap'n Crunch, Homer.
Well, if it needs to be done, do it. People around the world have to deal with jobs that cut, rearrange, or consolidate their positions all the time. The USSF is doing the same thing the AFSPC is doing and more. It makes sense to move them to USSF.
They are STATE national guard. Makes you wonder why does this admin feel the need to remove it from Colorado?
CORRUPTION
Every aspect of Colorado is Corrupted (yes, National Guardsmen as well) Colorado Government officials hate the American people and our values! End the CORRUPT
It started with the previous administration that created the Space Farce.
@@thezironsyou know Space Force was an Obama administration creation, right? And it’s a smart move since we have such a strategic and economic reliance on our space assets.
The Space Force was not created during Obama’s term. It was announced that it would be created in 2018 by Trump and then was formally created in 2019 when the NDAA was signed into law.
It’s because the simple reason, take a soldier out of his hometown he will be more obedient and more cold toward other towns persons. It’s to help soldiers be blind and stupid and compliant. That’s the truth people
The CORRUPTION RUNS deep in this state.
It’s not corruption, they’re executing a space force mission and the Department of the Air Force simply wants to move this space mission into the space force. If the space force had reserves or guard components there wouldn’t be an issue with this.
@@emh5745 Are you serious? This whole state is full of CORRUPTED! They hate American people 😠
Space force doesn't need a guard or reserve since the Space force is under the dept of the air force you just enlist into the air guard or AFR it's that simple but common sense left the building years ago
@@spyder801jd news flash, if you enlist in the Air Guard or the Air Force Reserves you are under the Air Force, not the Space Force (Space Force is its own branch of service). You get an Air Force coded job, go to Air Force BMT, and you perform Air Force missions. If I want to be a Marine I don’t enlist in the Navy or the Navy reserves, they’re two different branches of service. Hope this helps.
@emh5745 Correct, it's that simple! Corruption has nothing to do with this. AFSPC members are being assigned to the USSF. I don't think they're moving forward with a Space Guard. Consolidating them should work just fine.
He could have used her rank when he was referring to her...
So true. He never mentioned the Lieutenants rank nor the Master Sergeant's once who appeared. Civilians...what can you do?
removing state rights to defend selves
Defend themselves from what?
@@Nino_Jjeez brother, you’re still asking that question in 2024.
Leave them to this beautiful state!!!
Good coverage
Leave them in place where they are, commands can operate separately likes Brigades . What is the issue
Interesting how many people commenting here haven’t even bothered to listen to this report.
Thank you for your service!
Private contracting??
U have Cheyenne mt. And the airforce academy
Cheyenne Mt is operated by the Space Force now.
This is part of being in the military they realign every so many years. We used to have bases like fort ord in California.. bases in Panama . American pacific islands.. Alaska we even closed some bases… New York and New Jersey… Chicago and Great Lakes… the mission changes.. doesn’t mean they close for good or will never come back.. we just open a base in the pacific we are recommitioning a few other old deactivated bases this is how this base came to be in the first place
Guardsmen don't move around though
They are guardsman not active duty lop. It's completely different.
Relocation allowance will be a payday for min and women. Let them get an offer.
You can complain, without repercussion?
_”national”_
Title 10 USC federal over reach into Title 32 USC resources.
Ridiculous
this happens all the time.
Hell no!!
What the governor can do is codify a state militia. It would mean going alone with the resources of the Pentagon, but it would allow Colorado to maintain its guard units.
Um, that’s what they have the regular army for
Bullchittttt. Bullchitttttt. Do not. Move. Them. Way too important
It's not fair to keep treating the Air Force like it's part of the military. I mean, where does this end? First it's "you might have to relocate", but the next thing you know, somebody is gonna have to stay at work until sunset to take the flag down...
Space force needs ppl. Space force is the most important branch of the military, everything will fail with out them. How dependent we all are on satellites and communications
This is stupid plus civilians dont need to know what a unit is doing its classified
The needs of the army
Pass stupid laws, win stupid prizes.
don't get plugged by a Royal Draco dawg 😢🎉
Hey,it's always been MISSION FIRST....what don't get about that....ask anyone who has ever been in......regular, reserve,or guard....
Lmaoo can’t pick and choose wen u sign ur life away
Nevada
Who in the hell does the hiring for CBS Colorado on air talent? The 2 women looked like they just rolled out of bed, and "Dillon" is clueless about the town he lives in!!?? What, budget cuts!?
Dont Blame The TALKING HEADS! There Is A Whole Team Of People (about 17). That TELL THEM What They Are Going to Read and HOW They Are Going To Read It AND WHAT It IS Going To Look Like, Sound Like, How Long The Content Is, By The Nano Second, AND WHEN They Will Read It In The Twenty Four Minutes That They READ TO YOU.
They Are ONLY, TALKING HEADS! Grant It They Should Spend More Money In The Appearance Department but Those "17 People" I Mentioned? ...THEY Also Tell Them How To Wear Their Hair, What Color Their Hair WILL Be, How Long and How Short Their Hair WILL Be, AND! What They Will Wear AND finally What They Can NOT Wear and Can NOT Say! Get It? LOL. So Dont Blame The TALKING HEADS lol. Actually They Are Paid Very Well, Come In About 3pm in the afternoon And PRACTICE READING Until 5pm Then They READ Off And On For The Next Four to Five Hours In Thiry Minute Intervals and if your the Weather Person? YA GOT IT EVEN EASIER !!!
Excuse me, they won't be mad once they get "travel pay. "... i mean, it's state side...count your blessing, it could have been Iraq or Afghanistan. So here is a word of advice from someone who was deployed 34 month’s in Iraq: "Embrace Da Suck!"
That’s bad news
Air Force has been weird ever since they decided to change their physical exam for entrance from running to riding a bicycle. And as far as Colorado, I've been there for over 10 years now and I don't go into any of the Cities.
That lobotomy didn't heal well.
Hell No Pentagon!
Politics.
There’s way too much money being spent on some of these bases for no reason. And that’s not even talking about the corruption. There are several bases that need to be broke up in person moved around the taxpayers can’t keep affording this bill. We will save the taxpayers in billions of dollars.
Those budgets will be shifted around, trust me it doesn't save anyone anything.

Parochial vs national needs.
Go west airmen.
I know it sucks to move. But it’s just like any job, hell I’m in construction and they want to move me to north west tx. The lousianna, I get it. I can quit. Or I can go where i am needed. Or sroll the dice and start over fresh. It’s a gamble. So I get it. But if I was in there shoes. I would just go. And keep advancing and further my education on the militaries dime and gain rank
Well Uncle Sam got some big plans
They do not report to you.
Welcome to the world of reduction and consolidation.
Have a talk with former active duty military under bill clinton when he ended untold numbers of military and civilian jobs/towns.
Put on border
WW3 . Things are never what they seem. Let the DOD do what they need to do.
Southern states aren't not a good choice...
Double negative. Does that mean they are a good choice? I might have to agree with you, then. Huntsville, AL probably has more Aerospace PhDs than all of Colorado combined. Texas has the Space community in Houston and Elon's Space Base in Brownsville. Mississippi has the folks doing the heavy lifting at Stennis and Florida is probably the most well-known with NASA's work on the Space Coast and Cape Canaveral. You're right, the Southern States might have a leg up. Of course, the mosquitos are brutal, so maybe not the best place for a Space Force consolidation!
@@scottc287 don't leave out red states having generational poverty and low funding for education, CO has a well established aerospace sector and proven track record...
@@darkdan3379 CO used to be a red state and we were much better off when we were. Now CO looking like a 3rd world country
@@darkdan3379 lmao while Marxist-Communist-Socialist blue states burn themselves to the ground in their dystopian hellscape. Oh, and get used to saying allahu akbar, comprende?
@@darkdan3379all states are red. It’s the cities that are blue. Next election look at the red vs blue counties. So it’s quite laughable when I hear an attempt to dig at red states. They’re all red. Some just have higher concentrations of blue in their majors cities off setting the lower population counties.
this headline is as stupid as the reports.
Uh, oh, NG is about to find what it feels like to have no say and what it feels like to he government property
Grab that equipment
The militia acts didn't allow for this.
You go where your duty is statoned. There will be other National Guard duties to fill.
You misunderstand they were transferring them out of the national guard and into the space force which takes them from the state and into fed control and they were moving their duty station hence them quitting
Your state went liberal woke rest of the country just does not care what you want
Why would Trump make Space Force? It makes no sense, the Air Force or some other organization did their job it's not like they are doing something new.
Totally agree. I just haven’t figured out the need
maybe to arrest PPS and send them to GITMO for REeducation.Tell them its for FREE US Govt Cruise Ship.
Drive by it every day . Sounds like more defund the police garbage to me . Nobody cares what jared thinks !
SOME don’t wnat to leave Others do they’re complaining like a child at a military family doesn’t want to move because they will miss their friends. In this case they’re worried about all the money they will lose. They’ve been scamming the fence so much Colorado’s been putting fake manifests and sending them to the military and that’s been paid and the military unfortunately did not look twice to verify the payments just because they saw it was coming from the State.
Soo, you joined because you love Colorado? ...... Okay wrong choice in life for her.
The national guards serve their state's as well as the nation
This state doesn't deserve anything
Welcome to Obama’s nightmare
USA military doesn't do the regimental system and every few years usa soldiers have to transfer around to a different battalion/ regiment which tend to be different parts of the country so things like what the report is about will happen.
It’s because Colorado is a left leaning state. It’s better to move it to a right leaning state.
Move them to Kingman, Az.
They say they won't leave Colorado. They'll leave. Not going to give up those benefits & retirement
They are Guardsmen, genius. Not real great benefits and retirement. Don't embarass yourself next time.
@@KrisGerhardt They don't want to give up their great civilian jobs that are related to the space work they do in the guard.
It's the military, suck it up.
Hi Karen.
It's This Simple - National Security Trumps Economic And Personal Connivence. You KNOW Who KNOWS We Are THERE? ... China and Russia!
Believe Me There Is Geopolitics AND Strategies Involved That Are WAYYYY Above Our Pay Grade - ITS THE REASON THESE UNITS ARE MOBILE!!!!
If polis wants it ship it out
Narrow minded opinion. Sad that people like you have the ability to vote.
Get out of our military
Lmao, why do you want them out?
@@apo617I will not serve with pathetic nonsense
@@apo617listening to their babbling, is a disgrace
You do realize these are members of the Colorado National Guard, not the Federal Active Air Force....right?
@@user-yq3fz9ch5q they are still subjected to federal command when in time of need
they joined the service knowing they need to follow the orders given to them. the fact they whine to the news about the orders they've been given is dishonorable.
Follow the order
When you choose to work for the military you give up your right to choose where you live.
It makes sense to consolidate given the amount of money that the military spends. Every one complains until it affects them.
Bunch of crybabies!
You're mistaken. This is the Colorado Air National Gaurd, not the USAF. You absolutely have the right to live where you want. The DoD has been playing games with the states guards since Clinton. This is just the next evolution of that. And since this particular unit are the subject matter experts and are tactical/mobile group, the Governor has every right to be upset and to fight it.
Like the other comment their National Guard units from that individual state. Nice try Karen
lmao your profile pick... says it all
You are completely wrong, as Air and Army National Guard Members are not Active duty. When you enlist in the Colorado Army or Air National Guard, you are not a Federalized Force like active duty. The Guard Members live in the communities in which they serve.and are commanded by the States Governor. The activities conducted in Greeley can very easily be transferred to Buckley Space Force Base and incorporated into the 140 TFW Command. The biggest whiners are infact the liberals who never served in either the Active duty, Reserve or Guard Forces.
If your not paying me your not my supervisor brotherrrr
State before the nation always... Sorry not sorry and i respect those leaving and thabk you for your service
Colorado full or nazis. Lol
