The Military Affairs Committee of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to strengthening the relationship between the business community and our local military installations. Through a strong partnership with the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) and other military organizations, the committee works to support, promote, and advocate for the men and women who serve our country, as well as the industries that contribute to national defense.
This committee actively engages with military leadership, policymakers, and community stakeholders to enhance awareness of the economic and strategic importance of RRAD and other military assets in the region. It also provides networking opportunities, hosts recognition events for service members and veterans, and supports initiatives that improve the quality of life for military personnel and their families.
By fostering collaboration between the military and the Texarkana business community, the Military Affairs Committee plays a vital role in ensuring continued support for defense-related operations, workforce development, and economic growth in the region.
