## Description

Grand Forks Air Force Base is a military installation, not a commercial cargo field. Once a Cold War bomber and tanker base, it is now home to the 319th Reconnaissance Wing, and part of its grounds host Grand Sky, the country's first commercial drone-testing park — a striking shift from manned strike to unmanned surveillance. No freight-forwarding infrastructure exists here; regional shipments move through Hector International at Fargo (FTZ 267).
