122nd Fighter Wing

48 Inch 122nd FW new Dec 14 2011 300x225 122nd Fighter Wing Mission:

In a national emergency, the 122nd Fighter Wing may be ordered to active duty by the President of the United States. The primary federal mission of the 122FW is to achieve and maintain the level of operational readiness that will provide trained and equipped combat-ready tactical units, capable of global deployment, ready for immediate integration into the active Air Force to assure air offense, air defense, or joint action with ground forces.

The 122nd Fighter Wing is available on orders from the Governor of Indiana to assist local authorities in the event of a disaster, disturbance or other emergency. The units of the 122nd Fighter Wing are capable of supporting rescue and relief operations, aiding in recovery from natural disaster, along with protecting the citizens of Indiana and their property.

History:

The 122nd Fighter Wing traces its heritage back to the 358th Fighter Group that was activated in January, 1943, at Richmond Army Air Base, VA. Flying P-47D “Thunderbolts,” the 358th flew interdiction and bomber escort missions from England until D-Day. As the Allies advanced, they took on the role of ground support, including “tank busting.”
Following the surrender of Germany, the group redeployed to the United States in July 1945, and were officially inactivated the following November. In May 1946, the group was redesignated as the 122nd Fighter Group (later to become Fighter Wing) and assigned with all honors and colors to the Indiana Air National Guard. During the war the 358th, known as the “Orange Tails” for their distinctive bright orange aircraft markings, was awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations, and the Croix de Guerre.

15 Inch 2 5 NCR 300x225 Featured Product of the Day: Naval Mobile Construction Battalion TWENTY FIVE

“Clubs and Spades”

Created for the immediate requirements of the Naval Construction Force, the Naval Mobile Construction Batallion Two-Five mission is to provide and maintain a trained, ready, and immediately available organized reserve capable of quick response.

NMCB-Two Five was commissioned in September 1942 (then called the 25th Naval Construction Battalion), at Camp Bradford, VA, the same year in which the Seabees were established. The first Seabees in this battalion underwent training at Camp Allen, VA. Shortly after its commissioning and initial training, the battalion moved to Port Hueneme, CA and again to Camp Elliott, San Diego, CA where it attached to the 3rd Battalion, Nineteenth Marines, 3rd Marine Division, and Fleet Marine Force.

The battalion served under the command of U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur, during the World War II. Several major contributions include building a hospital at Samoa, building and airfield at Guadalcanal, building roads and bridges at Bouganvillein and helped recapture the island of Guam from Japanese invasion. NMCB-25 is the only unit with the distinction of serving under the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.

The battalion moved back to the United States in June 1945. Falling under the control of the 27th Naval Construction Regiment of the 5th Naval Construction Brigade, it was detached from the Marine Corps. Having followed the preceding events, the battalion was deactivated the following November.

Though the battalion remained inactive in quite a few years, it was reborn in Daisville in October, 1961 and is now part of the twelve Naval Mobile Construction Battalions in the Naval Reserve.

Throughout the years, NMCB- Two Five bagged various awards and distinctions. The battalion was selected as the Pacific’s Fleet’s Best of Type Reserve Nval Construction Battalion for fiscal years 1996 and 1998. It was also presented the Admiral Perry Award in FY 96 for being chosen as the best Seabee Construction Battalion of both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets.
