115th Fighter Wing

This week, Airmen from across Wisconsin came together for the Junior Enlisted Opportunity Program

JEOP provides first-term Airmen with the opportunity to build relationships with fellow Airmen from across the state, explore all three Wisconsin air bases, and learn about the many career paths and missions within the Air National Guard

Experiences like these broaden perspectives, strengthen teamwork, and inspire future leaders. Congratulations to all of the Airmen selected to participate in this year's program!

Last week, the 115th Fighter Wing joined approximately 734,000 people at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026!

EAA AirVenture is one of the world's largest annual gatherings of aviation enthusiasts, bringing together pilots, aviation professionals, and visitors from around the world for a week celebrating all things aviation.

Our Airmen were proud to be part of this incredible event, connecting with the community and sharing more about the mission and capabilities of the 115th Fighter Wing and the F-35A Lightning II.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made it a memorable week! 👋✈️

This past week U.S. Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians from seven states came together at Volk Field ANGB for the 14th annual Audacious Warrior exercise.

Hosted by the 115th Fighter Wing, the five-day training challenged EOD Airmen with realistic, up-to-date response scenarios involving drones, guided missiles, tripwires, and improvised explosive devices—helping ensure they're prepared for the threats they may face in the field.

Has it really been that long?

Truax Field was activated in June 1942 as a U.S. Army Air Corps base during World War II. In 1968, the base was fully transferred to the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

Named in honor of Wisconsin native Lt. Thomas L. Truax, Truax Field has proudly served as the home of what is now the 115th Fighter Wing.

More than 80 years after its initial activation, the mission continues: training, serving, and defending our nation while building on the legacy of those who came before us.

Safety first! 🛠️🚨

115th Fighter Wing first responders and civil engineers partnered to conduct a confined space rescue safety inspection.

Confined space rescues are high-risk operations due to limited access and potentially hazardous atmospheres. This annual training ensures responders are prepared to safely perform rescues while testing oxygen levels and gas-monitoring equipment to protect both rescuers and those in need.

For 250 years, Americans have answered the call to serve, defend, and strengthen our nation.

Today, the Air National Guard proudly carries that legacy forward, and the Airmen of the 115th Fighter Wing are honored to be part of it. Whether protecting the homeland, supporting our communities, or maintaining aircraft, our Airmen stand ready to answer the call anytime, anywhere.

As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, we honor those who came before us, those who serve today, and the generations who will continue to defend our nation's future

The 115th Fighter Wing is proud to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary with our fellow Wisconsinites!
