118th Wing

The 118th Wing, based at Berry Field Air National Guard Base in Nashville, Tennessee, traces its origins to the 118th Observation Squadron established in 1921. The unit served with distinction during World War II, flying combat and reconnaissance missions in the European Theater. Over the decades, the 118th underwent several mission changes, operating as a fighter, airlift, and intelligence wing. Today, the 118th Wing specializes in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, supporting both state and federal operations.
