115th Fighter Wing

The 115th Fighter Wing, based at Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison, Wisconsin, is a unit of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. Established in 1948, the unit originally flew fighter and reconnaissance missions and has transitioned through various aircraft, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The 115th has supported both federal missions, such as Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom, and state responses to emergencies and natural disasters. Continuously modernizing, the wing is slated to receive the F-35A Lightning II, enhancing its capabilities in both national defense and global operations.
