Overview
Join the Buckley Regional Military Affairs Council (BRMAC) for an exclusive Community Day at Buckley Space Force Base, one of America's most strategically vital military installations. Nestled just east of Denver in Aurora, Buckley is home to all six branches of the U.S. military and anchors America's missile warning architecture, contributing an estimated $2.44 billion annually to Colorado's economy.
This is a rare opportunity to go behind the gates and experience the mission firsthand. Attendees will hear opening remarks from the base commander, then split into groups to rotate through the morning's activities. Highlights include, but are not limited to, an up-close look at two of the base's flying missions -- CH-47 Chinooks from the Army Aviation Support Facility and F-16 Fighting Falcons from the Colorado Air National Guard -- along with a Military Working Dog demonstration, Drone Buster display, and a planetarium exhibit. No two stops on this tour are alike.
