The Utah Defense and Homeland Security Cluster area continues to grow with estimated revenues of over $3.9 billion and nearly 31,000 employees in the industry state-wide. Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) recently picked up additional workload related to A-10 refurbishment and designation as a primary maintainer for the F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter) as it comes on-line to replace the F-16 fighter, which has been a primary source of employment at the HAFB for many years.
The Office of the Governor, Hill Air Force Base, the Utah Defense Alliance, Utah Congressional delegation, State Legislature and many others have partnered with the Governor's Office of Economic Development and submitted a proposal to the U.S. Air Force, to have the service's newest command, Cyber Command, stationed at HAFB. If selected, Cyber Command could bring 550 to 2,500 military and federal employees to the Base as well as hundreds, or even thousands of related civilian support contractor personnel. Utah and Hill Air Force Base have unique attributes and capabilities for Cyber Command to be very successful. The Air Force expects to make a stationing decision by September 2009.
