National Guard Considers New Training Site Proposal in Huntley

Billings, MT, October 8, 2026 — A proposal is under consideration for the establishment of a new National Guard training site located in Huntley. The primary objective of this potential facility is to enable National Guard crews to conduct training exercises closer to their home bases.

Details surrounding the specific scope and location within Huntley have not been fully disclosed at this time. The proposal aims to address logistical challenges and potentially reduce travel times and costs associated with current training deployments for National Guard personnel in the region.

The initiative, if approved, would represent a significant development for the National Guard’s operational readiness and its integration with local communities. The ability for service members to train more locally is often cited as a factor in maintaining consistent readiness and supporting family commitments.

Further information regarding the entities involved in the proposal, the projected timeline for decision-making, and the expected capacity or features of the training site is expected to be released as the review process progresses. The contractor’s name was not provided.
