113th DC ANG

The 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard (113th DC ANG), traces its roots back to 1946 when it was established as the 352d Fighter Group (Air National Guard) and later redesignated as the 113th Fighter Wing. Headquartered at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, the unit has participated in a wide range of missions, including air sovereignty alert, homeland defense, and overseas deployments. The 113th Wing notably responded to the September 11 attacks by providing immediate air defense over the nation’s capital. Over the decades, the unit has operated a variety of aircraft, most recently flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon and supporting the nation’s air defense with both fighter and airlift capabilities.
