The Coastal Georgia Military Affairs Coalition (CGMAC) recently visited Washington, D.C., for its annual Military Fly-in.

This group comprises business and government leaders from Chatham County, Bryan County, Liberty County, the City of Hinesville, and the City of Savannah. Their high-impact meetings included discussions with key figures such as Under Secretary of the Army Gabe Camarillo, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment Rachel Jacobson, and U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Kevin Vereen. Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, as well as Representatives Buddy Carter, Andrew Clyde, Rich McCormick, Sanford Bishop, Austin Scott and Georgia State Representative Al Williams also participated in these critical discussions.

The primary focus of these meetings was to fortify the relationship between the community and the military.

Established in 1999, the Coastal Georgia Military Affairs Coalition’s mission is to protect the future of Fort Stewart- Hunter AAF in the southeast Georgia through advocacy and initiatives. CGMAC is a 501c3 non-profit organization and relies on memberships/partnerships to complete its mission.
