Air National Guard squadron, highlighting its strategic ambitions. The competition for the Commanders stems from the team’s potential stadium relocation, with Maryland, D.C., and Virginia all vying for the franchise’s future. Maryland hopes to retain the team in Prince George’s County, possibly with enhancements to the FedExField site or through other incentives.
