111th Fighter Wing - Overview

Overview

The 111th Fighter Wing provides protection of life, property, and the preservation of peace and order when tasked to do so by state or federal authorities. The Wing also provides operational and support units, as well as qualified personnel, to support wartime tasking and contingency commitments of any nature.

The wing's 103d Fighter Squadron was inactivated in 2010 and the Air Force Reserve 913th Airlift Wing was inactivated in 2007 as a result of BRAC 2005. DoD closed Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove, the home station of the 111 FW, in October 2011 and transferred custody of the installation to the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, which renamed it Horsham Air National Guard Station. A new mission for the 111th is still being determined.
