The military has not pulled money for flight training operations at Fort Novosel in Alabama to pay for aid to Ukraine “and other foreign obligations” as alleged in a social media post that began circulating online Tuesday.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, said they were aware of a tweet purporting to show an email from a Fort Novosel official claiming $130 million to $140 million of the base’s flight simulation training funds were pulled and that the base could not continue the training as of Wednesday.

“We are in touch with senior military officials and received the following comment: ‘At this time no decision has been made and no dollars have been diverted,’” Britt tweeted Thursday.

Moore said he has been working with House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Saks, and the rest of Alabama’s congressional delegation to get clarity on the issue.

“We have made multiple inquiries to the Army and they have agreed to provide a formal briefing,” Moore tweeted Thursday. “While we have received acknowledgement that the Army is dealing with a funding issue, the nature of it has not been disclosed and we have also been assured that flight training at Fort Novosel has not been disrupted. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and push for a definitive response as soon as possible.”

The rumors began with a Twitter thread by Patrick Webb that included a screenshot of the purported Fort Novosel official’s email. The official’s name was redacted as well as the email’s recipients.

“BREAKING: The DoD has pulled $130M of their $140M training budget for the USAACE flight program to allocate it towards Ukraine and other foreign obligations, according to newly leaked email,” Webb tweeted.

Webb cited “multiple senior aviation officials” for his tweets but did not name them.

Britt noted that she helped secure funds for Fort Novosel in the defense spending bill.

“In the recently passed FY24 Defense Appropriations bill, I helped secure $1.38 billion for flight training at Fort Novosel, and I’ll continue to fight for every cent of that money to be spent as congressionally intended,” she tweeted.

Late last month, Congress passed a supplemental appropriations bill that earmarked more than $95 billion in foreign aid to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.

The legislation signed by President Biden also forces TikTok’s Chinese owner to sell the company to an American entity to avoid the social media app from being banned in the United States.
