The 144th Fighter
Wing provides support for counter drug enforcement, natural
disasters, civil unrest and community assistance in the state of
California. Following September 11, 2001, the Wing provided
forces for Operation Aerosafe, guarding our local airports.
The 144th Fighter Wing’s primary mission is homeland defense. As
one of the first units assigned to this role, the Wing has been
providing security for California’s skies for almost 50 years.
With the Unit’s
central location, it provides excellent coverage and protection
for the entire state's major population centers and critical
infrastructures to include Los Angeles and the Bay area.
In light of this,
the 144th Fighter Wing has had the highest Noble Eagle tasking
in the Air National Guard and the Air Force.
