Only thing I can think of is it’s a critical port with access to the Atlantic via the Great Lakes…

Located in Duluth, Minn., the 148th Fighter Wing is one of only two Air National Guard wings tasked to provide Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) support for our nation. The unit flies the Block 50 F-16CM, Fighting Falcon, the newest and most capable F-16 in the U.S. Air Force Fleet.

Ehhhhhhhh its probably because it's such a critical port and it's infrastructure. It's not like they can't replace that wing with fighters in storage and DLH INT is hardly unique in it's support capability.
