Description: This request is for the design and construction of a new 450 member training facility with administrative, educational, assembly, library, learning center, vault, weapons simulator and physical fitness areas for four USAR and three ARNG units.

Amount: $8,600,000
Location: Davenport Armory, Davenport, IA
Recipient: Army National Guard

Security Forces Facility Addition/Alteration
Amount: $1,750,000
Location: Sioux Gateway Airport/COL Bud Day Field, Sioux City, Iowa
Recipient: Air National Guard
Description: This project would provide additional facility space for Security Forces storage and operations. The current building is too small for the Security Forces Mission.

The Air National Guard has determined that this facility is needed for their efficient operations.
Security Forces Facility Addition/Alteration
Amount: $4,600,000
Location: Des Moines International Airport, Des Moines, Iowa

The Air National Guard has determined that this facility is needed for their efficient operations.
