Capt. Ted Elkins, NASWF Commanding Officer, and Randy Roy, NASWF Community Planning and Liaison Officer, spoke during yesterday’s Tri-County Military Mission Forum in Pensacola.

The Santa Rosa Economic Development Office, in partnership with the Northwest Florida Defense Coalition, hosted the third annual event at the University of West Florida conference center. The event brought together senior leaders from NAS Whiting Field, NAS Pensacola, Hurlburt Field, and U.S. Rep. Jimmy Patronis to discuss the military’s impact and future plans for Northwest Florida.

The forum aimed to foster collaboration between military and community leaders; address current challenges and opportunities for local bases; and highlight the importance of continued federal and state support for military infrastructure and community partnerships.
