WASHINGTON — Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter on Nov. 5 assured military and civilian employees at Hill Air Force Base that despite the changing posture of the military, the Hill will continue to play a significant role in the nation’s security.
Carter traveled to Hill to remind those working for Utah’s largest single-site employer that the base is set to host the military’s newest warplane, the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter, and that despite the end of more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, "Hill has a very bright future."
