# Air National Guard

L'Air National Guard (abbreviato in ANG), è la componente aerea della National Guard of the United States ed è composta da riservisti.
Istituita col National Defense Act del 1947, è parte integrante della Guardia Nazionale ed è suddivisa in unità distribuite su tutto il territorio statunitense; le unità operano sotto l'autorità del governo dello Stato in cui sono di stanza.
È istituita in ognuno dei cinquanta stati federati che compongono gli Stati Uniti d'America, dal commonwealth di Porto Rico, dai territori di Guam, delle Isole Vergini e dal Distretto di Columbia, e la disciplina generale riguardo all'organizzazione è contenuta nel Title 10 e Title 32 dello United States Code.
Piloti, navigatori e altro personale tecnico specializzato, sono chiamati in servizio per periodi più lunghi rispetto ai tradizionali "un weekend al mese, due settimane l'anno".

## Compiti

Le unità della ANG possono essere mobilitate per il servizio attivo, allo scopo di integrare la US Air Force, in tempo di guerra o durante un'emergenza nazionale, frangenti dichiarati dal Congresso, dal Presidente o dal Segretario della Difesa.
L'ANG può essere chiamata in causa in caso di disastri naturali o emergenze interne, oltre che in quei casi in cui il governatore dello Stato sotto cui è posta decida il suo intervento.
