Gov. Asa Hutchinson led a rally in Camden on Monday (March 14) in support of the aerospace defense industry that produces weapons being used to defend the country of Ukraine.

Hutchinson was joined by Ukrainian native Professor Kateryna Pitchford, who is an assistant professor at Central Baptist College in Conway, and Arkansas Secretary of Commerce Mike Preston.

Military exports are Arkansas’ No. 1 export product. There are more than 2,700 workers in Camden’s Highland Industrial Park, where explosive munitions are produced. Some of the weapons include tank killers, anti-air defenses, and other missiles.
