Guarding the National Guard The guard bases New York is trying to protect are: Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton, Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse and Niagara Falls Air National Guard Base. Guard units are based and drill at 59 state-owned armories and the five air bases, as well as at the Army’s Fort Drum near Watertown and the Air Force Reserve base at Niagara Falls.

Another Air Force space program, nicknamed Rods From God, aims to hurl cylinders of tungsten, titanium or uranium from the edge of space to destroy targets on the ground, striking at speeds of about 7,200 miles an hour with the force of a small nuclear weapon. aubreyherbert.blogspot.com
