Two organizations in Great Falls are enhancing support for Malmstrom Air Force Base through long-term advocacy and community integration efforts. The Central Montana Defense Coalition focuses on federal advocacy and infrastructure, while the Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee connects airmen with the local community.

Malmstrom contributes approximately $435.8 million annually to the region's economy, housing over 3,200 active-duty personnel. Both groups emphasize the importance of collaboration to ensure the base's continued strength and alignment with national defense initiatives.
