tabUtah Air National Guard History 
The Utah Air National Guard was founded on November 18, 1946. The base is located on over 82 acres of the northeast corner of the Salt Lake International Airport. Nearly 1500 trained men and women serve in the Utah ANG and protect and defend both the State of Utah, and the United States of America.

Commanded by Brigadier General David M. Hooper, Assistant Adjutant General for Air, Utah ANG assignments include real-world military operations and daily activities that are necessary to support state and federal missions and training requirements.

Utah ANG's largest component is the 151st Air Refueling Wing (ARW) commanded by Col. Kelvin G. Findlay. All of the unit's commanders, along with members, are committed to building excellent organizations within the wing.
