Great job to the airmen of the airmen of the 128 Air Control Squadron; Hwy 12 between New Lisbon and Camp Douglas never looked better!

Congratulations to Chief Teddy Ostrowski on your highly successful 34 year career. Volk Field ANGB will miss you!!!

Thank you to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development for visiting Volk Field! DWD Economists received a brief on the economic impact of both Fort McCoy and Volk Field ANGB.

A proud moment in our history:

Good luck to all of the participants in the 2018 Air National Guard Ammo Rodeo hosted at Volk Field! The ANG Ammo Rodeo is an annual two week bomb building competition for ANG Ammo troops held at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center, Camp Douglas, Wis. The event concept was organically developed by Volk Field munitions personnel and fully support by National Guard Bureau. It brings together a total of 48 munitions troops from around the country; 3 cadre and 45 participants. This year's participants came from 20 Air National Guard units. During the first week of the event, participants learn several different disciplines of ammo in a classroom type setting. In the second week, teams of 15 compete against each other and are graded based on accuracy, duration and reliability of constructing munitions.

This week at Volk Field Air National Guard Base we recently provided support for a United States Air Force Special Air Mission. The USAF Special Air Mission provides air transportation for the President of the United States, Vice President of the United States, First Lady of the United States, Presidential Cabinet, U.S. Congressional delegations, and other high-ranking American and foreign dignitaries. Flying worldwide, Special Air Mission (SAM) aircraft represent the highest level of Distinguished Visitor travel and must meet stringent physical security, schedule and protocol requirements. Because these aircraft are the official transportation for leaders of the United States Government, they are a highly visible symbol of the United States of America. National pride dictates these aircraft portray the highest American standards. To continually host the SAM aircraft reflect the highest levels of confidence the United States Government have in the personnel of Volk Field ANGB.

Congratulations to Staff Sergeant Maurice Heckman 'Brutus' a Weapons Director assigned to the 128th Air Control Squadron on graduating the Advanced Weapons Director School (AWDS). The top 5% of Weapons Directors in the Air Force are selected to attend the six month school which advances and hones in their skills.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VOLK FIELD!!! 28 years ago today (June 15, 1990), Volk Field was activated by National Guard Bureau as a Combat Readiness Training Center

Our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and co-workers of Officer Charles Irvine Jr., Milwaukee Police Department....

Check out this photo from 1972 of the F-102A "Delta Dagger." The F-102A was the USAF's first supersonic all-weather interceptor; the aircraft was stationed at the 115 FW (Madison, WI) from 1966-1974 and trained at Volk Field.
