Wisconsin Air National Guard units, under the order of Gov. Tony Evers, 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 defense support to civil authorities.

Ensuring the security of America's skies is a mission the Air National Guard shares equally with the active Air Force. As part of the total force, the Wisconsin Air National Guard provides operationally ready combat units and personnel to fulfill war and contingency commitments when called to federal active duty by the President or Congress.
