Volk Field is the premier Counterland Training Center in the Air National Guard. Our mission is to “provide an integrated, year-round, realistic training environment for units to cost-effectively enhance combat capability and readiness up to the MAJCOM level” (ANGI 10-110). We enable events that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to accomplish at home stations.

We remain committed to “delivering an advanced and diverse training environment to train the warfighter” by serving as a proving ground for developing multi-capable Airmen prepared for multi-domain operations across the spectrum of warfare. The Volk Field CRTC staff continuously seek innovative, cost-effective solutions to provide dynamic training while ensuring the customer experience exceeds requirements.
