    The claim is that the Gilbane Japan GK project at Kadena Air Base (project LXEZ201072, Repair Special Operations Wing Facility B3524) is expected to be complete by December 21, 2028. This schedule comes from a U.S. Air Force firm‑fixed‑price contract award announced on December 17, 2025. According to the Defense Department contracts notice (mirrored by GlobalSecurity.org), Gilbane Japan GK was awarded a $53,097,051 design‑build contract to replace the concrete roof and repair a 38,875‑square‑foot facility at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. The notice explicitly states that “the location of performance is Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, and is expected to be complete by Dec. 21, 2028.” As of the follow‑up point in January 2026, this contract has only recently been awarded, and construction/repair work of this scale would normally take multiple years. There is no credible reporting, contract modification, or cancellation notice indicating that the project has been abandoned, significantly delayed, or accelerated to early completion. Given the three‑year performance window and the very early point in the schedule, a reasonable assessment is that the project is underway or in initial design and mobilization phases and has not yet met its 2028 completion target. The core claim—that it “is expected” to be complete by December 21, 2028—remains a projection rather than a fulfilled outcome. Therefore, the current status of the promise is best assessed as in progress. A later review will be required, closer to the planned completion date, to determine whether construction and repairs finish on schedule or encounter delays, cost growth, or scope changes that would alter this assessment.
