20 - AIR NATIONAL GUARD

With an authorized force structure of 4,749, the objective of this program is to maximize the readiness of all California Air National Guard units to effectively execute federal or state missions. Plans are developed and maintained for employment of Air National Guard forces during state emergencies and federal mobilization. Support plans include rescue, air defense, airlift, unmanned aerial systems, space, intelligence, communications, and other specialized services. Training is conducted using United States Air Force and Air National Guard technical schools and on-the-job training at home stations or training sites within the United States or overseas. The federal government provides virtually all supplies, equipment, transportation, subsistence, and support services necessary for training, deployment, and commitment of the Air National Guard.
