Air Reserve Components for USAF Are the Air National Guard Air Reserve Components and Air Force Reserve Command ■ The Air Reserve Components for USAF are the Air National Guard Air Reserve Components and Air Force Reserve Command. Air Force Reserve Command stood up as a major command Feb. 17, 1997. The change in status, authorized by Congress in the Fiscal 1997 National Defense Authorization Act, was based on the experience gained from the Air Force Reserve component mobilization for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Chris Vadnais, Air Force Print News 7/18/2006 - HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFPN) — Seven F-15 Eagle fighter jets assigned to the Hawaii Air National Guard fired AIM-7 Sparrow mis- siles at drones dropped from a Navy F-18 July 16. Pi- lots fired the missiles in the Pacific Missile Range Fa- cility off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, as part of the 2006 Rim of the Pacific Exercise, known as RIMPAC. RIMPAC brought friendly forces from the Pacific the- ater and the United Kingdom together to engage in air and sea war games. The opportunity to fire live ord- nance in Hawaii does not come often. Crews usually travel to Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., for firing prac- tice. Even then the missiles they use are loaded with telemetry equipment rather than live ordnance. photo by Tech. Sgt.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lt. Col. Richard Stackpole April 9, 2021 OFFICE: 615.313.0662 21-14 richard.a.stackpole2.mil@mail.mil Colonel Jason Glass leads military COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Col. Jason Glass, Tennessee’s Assistant Adjutant General, Air, was named Tennessee’s first Dual-Status Commander for the federally-supported effort to help vaccinate citizens throughout Memphis against COVID-19 on April 1. Dual-Status Commanders serve a critical and unique function during emergencies by commanding both National Guard and active-duty forces. They coordinate and give orders to both state and federal troops, therefore simplifying the command and control of military personnel. The president and governor must both agree to the establishment of a dual status commander in the event of an emergency requiring the need to use multicomponent personnel. In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local agencies, Glass leads a team of approximately 130 Navy and Marine Corps personnel with the 2nd Marine Division who arrived in Memphis earlier this week. The Sailors and Marines, organized as Vaccine Support Teams, help support a city-run, federally-supported Community Vaccination Center located at the Pipkin building at the Memphis Fairgrounds. In addition, he leads more than 30 Army and Air National Guard personnel also supporting the vaccination efforts in Memphis. “I’m honored to serve in this role,” said Glass. “Any opportunity to command is a blessing, but to be able to have four branches of the service under one multi-component command is a once in a life time opportunity and one that I don’t take lightly.

  • Military Operations
    Case Study Military Operations In additon to serving more traditional aviation users, Tennessee’s airports provide substantial support to military aviation, including both the Tennessee Air National Guard (ANG) and the United States Air Force. These units have played important strategic roles in national defense and the United States’ military presence around the world. Further, their locations are tied to the geopolitical history of the nation. For instance, the nuclear research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s hydroelectric facilities gave critical strategic value to having military aviation as national defense. McGhee Tyson ANG Base – A Legacy of Service in Tennessee The McGhee Tyson ANG Base is located at McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS). Units housed at the base include the 134th Air Refueling Wing, 119th Command and Control Squadron, and 241st Engineering Installation Squadron. The 134th flies KC-135 Stratotankers, the military’s primary aerial refueling aircraft. The KC-135 has been in service for over fifty years and has a strategic role in extending the endurance of United States aircraft in action. The 134th has served in conflicts worldwide for decades, including most recently in the Middle East. The 119th plays a unique support role in ensuring the United States Air Force’s operational readiness as a component of the United States Strategic Command. Its continued presence in Tennessee reflects the state’s importance in the nation’s geopolitical legacy. The 241st has a long history in Tennessee, most recently relocating from another base in Chattanooga to the McGhee Tyson ANG Base. In total, McGhee Tyson ANG Base personnel, including both Air and Army National Guard members, account for over 1,400 jobs earning a combined annual $52 million in wages.
