ADC’s New ‘Homefront’ Video Series Explores Communities’ On-the-Ground Realities

April 2, 2025

The Association of Defense Communities this week launched “Homefront,” a new documentary video series that visits defense communities across the country to understand their challenges and successes and what makes their communities unique.

“As ADC celebrates 50 years, we’re hitting the road to tell the stories of America’s defense communities,” ADC CEO Tim Ford says in the first episode, which he co-hosts with ADC Executive Director Matt Borron.

The first episode explores the Base Realignment and Closure process and how it affects communities throughout the redevelopment journey.
