During Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford’s weeklong tour of the district this week, the first-term Republican highlighted efforts to bring new missions to his district’s two military bases.

Alford tells KMMO News that more training programs are set to come to Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County.

Alford also expresses confidence that the B-21 Raider, set to replace the B-2 Spirit, will take the fabled stealth bomber’s place at Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster.
