Excerpt: The United States Air Force 's 115th Fighter Wing is an Air National Guard fighter unit located at Truax Field, Wisconsin. Mission 115th Fighter Wing F-16sThe 115th Fighter Wing provides multi-role fighter support including air-to-air, close air support and precision guided bombing. The wing currently operates the latest generation of munitions such as the JDAM series bombs and the AIM-9X air-to-air missile. As an Air National Guard unit, it is normally under the command of the Governor, but has a federal role as well. Currently the wing has personnel and/or aircraft assigned to Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Jump Start and regularly serves with the Air Expeditionary Force in Iraq and Afghanistan. History The 176 Fighter Squadron was organized at Truax Field in 1948. The F-51 Mustang was the aircraft assigned to the unit. In 1950, 10 of the unit's 25 Mustangs were shipped to Korea in support of the Korean War effort. In February 1951, the 176 Fighter Squadron was called to active duty, but remained at Truax Field. During the active duty tour, the 176 Fighter Squadron converted its aircraft to the F-89 Scorpion. They became the first Air National Guard unit to fly the modern jet fighter. In October 1952, the 176th returned to reserve status and state control, and converted back to the F-51 Mustang.
