Nebraska Air National Guard
The Nebraska Air National Guard (NE ANG) is the aerial militia of the State of Nebraska, United States of America. It is a reserve of the United States Air Force and along with the Nebraska Army National Guard, an element of the Nebraska National Guard of the larger United States National Guard Bureau.
As state militia units, the units in the Nebraska Air National Guard are not in the normal United States Air Force chain of command. They are under the jurisdiction of the governor of Nebraska though the office of the Nebraska Adjutant General unless they are federalized by order of the president of the United States. The Nebraska Air National Guard is headquartered at Lincoln Air National Guard Base, and its commander is currently[update] Brigadier General Wendy Johnson.
Under the "Total Force" concept, Nebraska Air National Guard units are considered to be Air Reserve Components (ARC) of the United States Air Force (USAF). Nebraska ANG units are trained and equipped by the Air Force and are operationally gained by a major command of the USAF if federalized. In addition, the Nebraska Air National Guard forces are assigned to Air Expeditionary Forces and are subject to deployment tasking orders along with their active duty and Air Force Reserve counterparts in their assigned cycle deployment window.
Along with their federal reserve obligations, as state militia units the elements of the Nebraska ANG are subject to being activated by order of the governor to provide protection of life and property, and preserve peace, order and public safety. State missions include disaster relief in times of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and forest fires, search and rescue, protection of vital public services, and support to civil defense.
The Nebraska Air National Guard consists of the following major units:
On 24 May 1946, the United States Army Air Forces, in response to dramatic postwar military budget cuts imposed by President Harry S. Truman, allocated inactive unit designations to the National Guard Bureau for the formation of an Air Force National Guard. These unit designations were allotted and transferred to various State National Guard bureaus to provide them unit designations to re-establish them as Air National Guard units.
The Nebraska Air National Guard origins date to the formation of the 173d Fighter Squadron at Lincoln Army Airfield, Lincoln, receiving federal recognition on 26 July 1946. It was equipped with F-51D Mustangs and its mission was the air defense of the state. 18 September 1947, the Nebraska Air National Guard separated from the Army Air Corps upon the establishment of the United States Air Force as a separate branch of the United States military under the National Security Act.
On 1 July 1960 the 173d Fighter-Interceptor Squadron was authorized to expand to a group level, and the 155th Fighter-Interceptor Group was allotted by the National Guard Bureau, extended federal recognition and activated.
