Special ops commander says Oceana is only option
U.S. Army Gen. Bryan D. Brown, who heads the U.S. Special Operations Command, said in a letter that Oceana Naval Air Station is the only airfield that can meet the needs of his command.

Oceana has a classified role in supporting special operations forces, including Navy SEALs.

His letter contradicts testimony at a hearing Saturday that the special operations forces mission could be moved to another base in the Norfolk region.
