The Great Falls Chamber's Montana Defense Alliance
(MTDA) was initially created to advocate for both.
Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Montana Air National
Guard with a single voice and message. The MTDA has
since grown to promote all of Montana's military and
Department of Homeland Security interests. MTDA's
primary key partners include Cascade County, the City
of Great Falls, Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce,
the Great Falls International Airport, the Great Falls
Development Authority, and other strategic partners.
The Great Falls Chamber's Military Affairs Committee
(MAC) fosters and promotes a vital military presence in
our community through activities supporting our military
populations. The MAC works diligently at maintaining
relationships with the military, showing how much the
presence of Malmstrom Air Force Base, the Montana Air
National Guard, and the Army Guard is appreciated by
sponsoring programs and events, such as appreciation
events, monthly luncheons, MAC Ball, MAC Golferoo,
Co-Commanders program, presentation of quarterly and
annual awards, and sponsorship and support of Global
Strike Challenge and other events.
