Oklahoma Air National Guard

The Oklahoma Air National Guard (OK ANG) was established in 1947 as a component of the newly formed United States Air Force under the National Security Act. Comprising the 137th Special Operations Wing in Oklahoma City and the 138th Fighter Wing in Tulsa, the OK ANG has provided vital air defense, reconnaissance, and support missions both domestically and abroad. The unit has participated in significant operations including the Korean War, Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and numerous humanitarian missions. Today, the Oklahoma Air National Guard continues to support both state and federal missions, maintaining combat readiness while assisting in disaster response and homeland security operations.
