Indiana Air National Guard

The Indiana Air National Guard, established in 1921 with the creation of the 113th Observation Squadron, is the aerial militia component of the State of Indiana. Over the decades, its units have served in major conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and the Global War on Terrorism, providing vital reconnaissance, airlift, and fighter operations. Today, the Indiana Air National Guard comprises the 122nd Fighter Wing in Fort Wayne and the 181st Intelligence Wing in Terre Haute, supporting both state and federal missions. The Guard remains a critical force for disaster response in Indiana and a strategic reserve for the United States Air Force.
