Kirtland Air Force Base did not swear renewed loyalty to the reformed United States Federal government after the Convention of States ended their session. They also did not join the new Republic of Texas. Their relationship with Los Alamos Laboratory had deepened during the Second Great Depression, and Kirtland chose to remain with them as America recovered. But there was still the Cybernetic Wars, the Islamic Jihad, and the Red Chinese to deal with as the years went by, and Kirtland eagerly sent their men and women out to support the various American States and the Feds whenever their help was called for. They even released their nuclear weapons for use against the Chinese and the Rogue AIs in the end. The strike against the Chinese fleet in Indonesia was called off after the discovery of the Singapore Collective, and what history books even admit that there were nuclear weapons in theatre say they were never used against Singapore. The history books are wrong. Small, tactical, nuclear weapons are impressively effective against cybernetic targets after all.
