Military of the U. S. state of West Virginia
The West Virginia National Guard is a part of the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. It comprises the West Virginia Army National Guard and the West Virginia Air National Guard. Unlike some states, West Virginia does not maintain a state defense force, nor is there a naval component to the state's military forces. The oldest active regiment in the U. S. Army (active, Reserve and National Guard) is the 201st Field Artillery, the "First West Virginia," founded in 1735 as a Virginia militia regiment. History
The West Virginia National Guard traces its heritage to the 1735 militia company established in Berkeley County by Morgan Morgan. In 1861, the 81st Virginia General Assembly voted to secede from the United States following the Battle of Fort Sumter. However, opposition to secession and slavery as well as anti Confederate, Pro Union sentiments were strong in Northwestern Virginia. The counties that now compose of present day West Virginia voted to secede from Virginia and establish their own separate, pro Union state, and the West Virginia National Guard's separate identity truly began to coalesce during this period. West Virginia provided some 40,000 men for service in both Northern and Southern forces. Following World War I, the 150th and 201st Infantry Regiments were organized in southern and northern West Virginia, respectively. These units were federalized in January 1941 as President Franklin D. Roosevelt prepared the nation for war. The 150th spent World War II defending the Panama Canal while the 201st provided the first line of defense for the Aleutian Islands. The National Guard was dramatically changed after World War II. Artillery units, transportation, and engineering units were added to the 150th Infantry Regiment. Probably the biggest change, however, was the addition of a combat fighter squadron, bringing an important aviation component to the Guard The WV ARNG is supporting Homeland Security activities, and has deployed troops as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa, and peace keeping missions in Kosovo. The WVARNG has a three fold mission:
(a) Federal Mission: As a Reserve Component of the Army, maintain combat ready units and Soldiers who are available to mobilize in support of the U. S. National Military Strategy;
(b) State Mission: Provide organized, trained and equipment units to protect life and property and to preserve peace, order and public safety when ordered by the governor; and
(c) Community Mission: To add value to the communities in which we live, work and serve. Current units

Two units of the West Virginia Army National Guard, the 150th Cavalry Regiment and the 201st Field Artillery Regiment, are among the nineteen Army National Guard units with campaign credit for the War of 1812. The 150th served with the 38th Infantry Division between the wars, served in the Panama Canal Zone during World War II, and was an armored cavalry regiment for a time after World War II. West Virginia is also home to the 249th Army Band, stationed in Morgantown, WV. The band's history dates back to the turn of the century when it consisted of two bands, the 201st Infantry Band in Morgantown, WV and the 150th Infantry Band in Bluefield, WV. Upon release from federal service in World War Two, these two bands were consolidated into the current 249th and was stationed in Fairmont, West Virginia. In 1995, the 249th was stationed in Morgantown. The band is made up of members from throughout the state as well as surrounding states. These personnel make up a Concert Band, Ceremonial Band, Jazz Ensemble, Rock Band, and several other small ensembles including, but not limited to, a Brass Choir, Jazz Quartet, and Percussion Ensemble. Located in Preston County, Camp Dawson is the main training site for the units of the West Virginia National Guard. Comprising over 4,000 acres, Camp Dawson has multiple ranges, training sites, and is home to Dawson Army Airfield (K3G5). The West Virginia Guard also hosts the Center for National Response at the Memorial Tunnel in Kanawha County. It was reported on April 24, 2022, after the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, that West Virginia would be sending a number of M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine.

During the early years of the 167th, it flew the T 6 Texan trainer, P 51 Mustang and P 47 Thunderbolt. The unit was activated October 10, 1950 during the Korean War, and was designated the 167th Fighter Bomber Squadron when it returned on July 10, 1952. In December 1955, the unit was redesignated as the 167th Fighter Interceptor Squadron''', and relocated to Eastern West Virginia Region Airport in Martinsburg, WV.

The West Virginia National Guard is a part of the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. It comprises the West Virginia Army National Guard and the West Virginia Air National Guard. Unlike some states, West Virginia does not maintain a state defense force, nor is there a naval component to the state's military forces. The oldest active regiment in the U. S. Army (active, Reserve and National Guard) is the 201st Field Artillery, the "First West Virginia," founded in 1735 as a Virginia militia regiment. History
The West Virginia National Guard traces its heritage to the 1735 militia company established in Berkeley County by Morgan Morgan. In 1861, the 81st Virginia General Assembly voted to secede from the United States following the Battle of Fort Sumter. However, opposition to secession and slavery as well as anti Confederate, Pro Union sentiments were strong in Northwestern Virginia. The counties that now compose of present day West Virginia voted to secede from Virginia and establish their own separate, pro Union state, and the West Virginia National Guard's separate identity truly began to coalesce during this period. West Virginia provided some 40,000 men for service in both Northern and Southern forces. Following World War I, the 150th and 201st Infantry Regiments were organized in southern and northern West Virginia, respectively. These units were federalized in January 1941 as President Franklin D. Roosevelt prepared the nation for war. The 150th spent World War II defending the Panama Canal while the 201st provided the first line of defense for the Aleutian Islands. The National Guard was dramatically changed after World War II. Artillery units, transportation, and engineering units were added to the 150th Infantry Regiment. Probably the biggest change, however, was the addition of a combat fighter squadron, bringing an important aviation component to the Guard The WV ARNG is supporting Homeland Security activities, and has deployed troops as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa, and peace keeping missions in Kosovo. The WVARNG has a three fold mission:
(a) Federal Mission: As a Reserve Component of the Army, maintain combat ready units and Soldiers who are available to mobilize in support of the U. S. National Military Strategy;
(b) State Mission: Provide organized, trained and equipment units to protect life and property and to preserve peace, order and public safety when ordered by the governor; and

West Virginia Air National Guard
The West Virginia Air National Guard is the state's air force militia. It is part of both the United States Air Force and the West Virginia National Guard. The West Virginia Air National Guard was officially federally recognized on March 7, 1947, as the 167th Fighter Squadron, based at Kanawha Airport in Charleston.

Батыс Вирджиния Ұлттық гвардиясы өзінің тарихын 1735 жылы Беркли округінде Морган Морган құрған милиция ротасынан бастайды. 1861 жылы 81-ші Вирджиния Бас Ассамблеясы Форт-Самтер шайқасынан кейін АҚШ-тан бөлінуге дауыс берді. Алайда, Солтүстік-Батыс Вирджинияда сепаратизмге және құлдыққа қарсылық күшті болды, сондай-ақ Конфедерацияға қарсы, Одақ жақтас көзқарас та басым болды. Қазіргі Батыс Вирджинияны құрайтын округтер Вирджиниядан бөлініп, өздерінің жеке, Одақ жақтас штатын құруға дауыс берді, және Батыс Вирджиния Ұлттық гвардиясының жеке ерекшелігі осы кезеңде қалыптаса бастады. Батыс Вирджиния Солтүстік және Оңтүстік әскерлеріне шамамен 40 000 адам берді. Бірінші дүниежүзілік соғыстан кейін 150-ші және 201-ші жаяу әскер полктері Оңтүстік және Солтүстік Батыс Вирджинияда ұйымдастырылды. Бұл бөлімшелер 1941 жылдың қаңтар айында президент Франклин Д. Рузвельт елді соғысқа дайындаған кезде федералдық басқаруға берілді. 150-ші полк Екінші дүниежүзілік соғысты Панама каналын қорғаумен өткізді, ал 201-ші полк Алеут аралдарының алғашқы қорғаныс шебін қамтамасыз етті. Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыстан кейін Ұлттық гвардияда үлкен өзгерістер болды. 150-ші жаяу әскер полкіне артиллерия, көлік және инженерлік бөлімшелер қосылды. Бірақ, бәлкім, ең маңызды өзгеріс – жауынгерлік эскадрильяның қосылуы, бұл гвардияға маңызды авиациялық құрамды әкелді. WV ARNG Отандық қауіпсіздік қызметін қолдайды және Ирактағы «Ирак азаттығы» операциясы, Ауғанстандағы «Тұрақты бостандық» операциясы, Африка мүйізіндегі және Косоводағы бейбітшілік сақтау миссияларына әскерлерді жіберді. WVARNG үш мақсатын орындайды:
(а) Федералдық мақсат: Армияның резервтік құрамы ретінде, АҚШ Ұлттық әскери стратегиясын қолдау үшін жұмылдыруға дайын, жауынгерлік дайын бөлімшелер мен сарбаздарды ұстап тұру;
(b) Штаттық мақсат: Губернатордың бұйрығымен өмір мен мүлікті қорғау және бейбітшілік, тәртіп пен қоғамдық қауіпсіздікті сақтау үшін ұйымдастырылған, оқытылған және жабдықталған бөлімшелерді ұсыну; және
(c) Қоғамдық мақсат: Біз өмір сүріп, жұмыс істеп, қызмет ететін қоғамдарға пайда әкелу.

Military of the U. S. state of West Virginia
The West Virginia National Guard is a part of the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. It comprises the West Virginia Army National Guard and the West Virginia Air National Guard. Unlike some states, West Virginia does not maintain a state defense force, nor is there a naval component to the state's military forces. The oldest active regiment in the U. S. Army (active, Reserve and National Guard) is the 201st Field Artillery, the "First West Virginia," founded in 1735 as a Virginia militia regiment. History
The West Virginia National Guard traces its heritage to the 1735 militia company established in Berkeley County by Morgan Morgan. In 1861, the 81st Virginia General Assembly voted to secede from the United States following the Battle of Fort Sumter. However, opposition to secession and slavery as well as anti Confederate, Pro Union sentiments were strong in Northwestern Virginia. The counties that now compose of present day West Virginia voted to secede from Virginia and establish their own separate, pro Union state, and the West Virginia National Guard's separate identity truly began to coalesce during this period. West Virginia provided some 40,000 men for service in both Northern and Southern forces. Following World War I, the 150th and 201st Infantry Regiments were organized in southern and northern West Virginia, respectively. These units were federalized in January 1941 as President Franklin D. Roosevelt prepared the nation for war. The 150th spent World War II defending the Panama Canal while the 201st provided the first line of defense for the Aleutian Islands. The National Guard was dramatically changed after World War II.

West Virginia is also home to the 249th Army Band, stationed in Morgantown, WV. The band's history dates back to the turn of the century when it consisted of two bands, the 201st Infantry Band in Morgantown, WV and the 150th Infantry Band in Bluefield, WV. Upon release from federal service in World War Two, these two bands were consolidated into the current 249th and was stationed in Fairmont, West Virginia. In 1995, the 249th was stationed in Morgantown. The band is made up of members from throughout the state as well as surrounding states. These personnel make up a Concert Band, Ceremonial Band, Jazz Ensemble, Rock Band, and several other small ensembles including, but not limited to, a Brass Choir, Jazz Quartet, and Percussion Ensemble.

Military of the U. S. state of West Virginia
The West Virginia National Guard is a part of the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety. It comprises the West Virginia Army National Guard and the West Virginia Air National Guard. Unlike some states, West Virginia does not maintain a state defense force, nor is there a naval component to the state's military forces. The oldest active regiment in the U. S. Army (active, Reserve and National Guard) is the 201st Field Artillery, the "First West Virginia," founded in 1735 as a Virginia militia regiment. History
The West Virginia National Guard traces its heritage to the 1735 militia company established in Berkeley County by Morgan Morgan. In 1861, the 81st Virginia General Assembly voted to secede from the United States following the Battle of Fort Sumter. However, opposition to secession and slavery as well as anti Confederate, Pro Union sentiments were strong in Northwestern Virginia. The counties that now compose of present day West Virginia voted to secede from Virginia and establish their own separate, pro Union state, and the West Virginia National Guard's separate identity truly began to coalesce during this period. West Virginia provided some 40,000 men for service in both Northern and Southern forces. Following World War I, the 150th and 201st Infantry Regiments were organized in southern and northern West Virginia, respectively. These units were federalized in January 1941 as President Franklin D. Roosevelt prepared the nation for war. The 150th spent World War II defending the Panama Canal while the 201st provided the first line of defense for the Aleutian Islands. The National Guard was dramatically changed after World War II. Artillery units, transportation, and engineering units were added to the 150th Infantry Regiment. Probably the biggest change, however, was the addition of a combat fighter squadron, bringing an important aviation component to the Guard The WV ARNG is supporting Homeland Security activities, and has deployed troops as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa, and peace keeping missions in Kosovo. The WVARNG has a three fold mission:
(a) Federal Mission: As a Reserve Component of the Army, maintain combat ready units and Soldiers who are available to mobilize in support of the U. S. National Military Strategy;
(b) State Mission: Provide organized, trained and equipment units to protect life and property and to preserve peace, order and public safety when ordered by the governor; and
(c) Community Mission: To add value to the communities in which we live, work and serve. Current units

Бұл туралы білгеннен кейін 130-шы әуе көлігі қанатының бірнеше бұрынғы командирлері, жергілікті Канахва округі комиссиясының және Йегер әуежайы директорлар кеңесінің мүшелері бірліктің таратылуын болдырмау мақсатында "Keep 'Em Flying" атты халықтық ұйым құрды. Аудан халқының күшті қолдауымен газет және радио жарнамаларына қаржы жиналды, сондай-ақ BRAC мәселесіне жақын сарапшыларды тартуға тырысты, барлығының мақсаты – бірлікті сақтап қалу болды. 2005 жылғы 13 маусымда BRAC комиссиясының өкілдері Чарльстонға базаны бағалау және генерал Таккетт, губернатор Джо Манчин, сенатор Роберт Бёрд, конгрессмен Шелли Мур Капито және 130-шы қанаттың бұрынғы командирі, сонымен қатар "Keep 'Em Flying" ұйымының төрағасы полковник Билл Питерс, кішімен кездесті. Осы сапардан кейін және осы кезеңде ұсынылған барлық ақпаратты ескере отырып, BRAC комиссиясы бірауызды түрде, 9-0 дауыспен, бірлікті сақтап қалу шешімін қабылдады.
On 13 May 2005, the Department of Defense released its Base Realignment and Closure, 2005 (BRAC) report, and the 130th Airlift Wing was one of the units slated to be eventually decommissioned. Its complement of eight C 130H aircraft would be realigned to Pope Air Force Base, and its complement of expeditionary combat support (ECS) personnel to the 167th Airlift Wing. Upon learning of this, several former commanders of the 130th Airlift Wing along with members of the local Kanawha County Commission and the Yeager Airport Board of Directors formed the Keep 'Em Flying grassroots organization to try to prevent the unit from being decommissioned. Following an outpouring of community support, money was raised for newspaper ads and radio ads, and to hire analysts familiar with BRAC, all in an attempt to save the unit. On June 13, 2005, members of the BRAC commission came to Charleston to evaluate the base and talk to General Tackett, Governor Joe Manchin, Senator Robert Byrd, Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito and Col. Bill Peters, Jr., former commander of the 130th and chair for Keep 'Em Flying. Following this visit, and taking in all the information that was presented to them during that time, the BRAC commission voted unanimously, 9–0, to keep the unit intact.
167-авиақұтқарушы бөлім
11 қыркүйекте Нью-Йорк және Вашингтон қалаларына жасалған шабуылдардан кейін, бөлімнің әскери қызметшілері Ауғанстан мен Ирак соғыстарына аттанды. Бөлім мүшелері осы операцияларға қолдау көрсеткені үшін алты қола жұлдыз және екі қызыл жүрек орденін алды. 2006 жылдың желтоқсан айында 167-ші бөлім жалпы 11 ұшақтың ішінде алғашқы C-5 Galaxy ұшағын алды. 2012 жылдың ақпан айында Әскери-әуе күштерінің хатшысы күштік құрылым туралы шолуды жариялады. Бұл құжатта белсенді әскер, Ұлттық гвардия және резервтік күштердегі көптеген ұшақтардың өзгеруі, соның ішінде бөлімнің C-5 ұшақтарын C-17 ұшақтарымен алмастыру туралы толық мәліметтер келтірілді. 2014 жылдың 25 қыркүйегінде 167-ші әуе көлігі бөлімі соңғы C-5 миссиясын орындады, ол жергілікті оқу рейсі болды. Сол күні бөлімге алғашқы C-17 Globemaster III ұшағы берілді, бұл бөлімнің алу жоспарындағы сегіз C-17 ұшағының бірі.
Since the September 11 attacks on New York City and Washington, D. C., the unit has had members deployed to the Afghan and Iraq wars. Unit members have received six Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts in support of these operations. In December 2006, the 167th received its first C 5 Galaxy, out of a total of 11 aircraft. In February 2012, the Force Structure Overview was released by the Secretary of the Air Force. The document detailed numerous aircraft changes throughout the active, Guard and Reserve forces, including the replacement of the unit's C 5 aircraft with C 17s. On September 25, 2014, the 167th Airlift Wing flew its final C 5 mission, a local training sortie. That same day the wing received its first C 17 Globemaster III aircraft, one of eight C 17s the unit is slated to receive.
