Kirtland Air Force Base was Global Strike Command’s largest airbase when the Second Great Depression came upon us all. It was one of the foremost research centers into aircraft and weapons of all kinds, from handheld to nuclear weapons. And it held the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. Kirtland was a major training center for weapons and aircraft, and much of the New Mexico Air National Guard was based there as well. It was, to put it simply, too big to close when the new President took over and began trimming the military budget in order to fund various social justice endeavors. It still lost a great deal of its funding, and Kirtland was forced to cut back many active operations as the Second Great Depression’s effects spread farther into the national economy. Kirtland had an advantage that many other military bases did not, though. The federal government treasury was not its only source of funding.
