In addition to Laboratory Testing Inc., over 180 suppliers from across the United States will actively participate in explaining to members of Congress the importance of fully funding the program for the well-being of the 2,000 businesses and their employees across the United States that contribute parts and services to the production and maintenance or aircraft carriers, as well as the strength of the economy and our defense program. ACIBC Action Days 2014 will take place on March 26 and 27, 2014 in Washington, DC.

The Aircraft Carrier Industrial Base Coalition was established in 2004 to preserve the strength of the aircraft carrier force as a critical part of the nation's defense structure.
