- California Air National Guard
The California Air National Guard is the air component of the California National Guard. The California Air National Guard is headquartered at Sacramento, California, and its commanding officer is currently Major General Dennis G. Lucas.
One of the duties of the California Air National Guard is defense of the United States. In December 2007, after the grounding of F-15 fighters due to potential structural problems, the California Air National Guard assumed responsibility for defense of the western United States. This was the first time that a single state's fighter wing took responsibility of defense for an entire coast. [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071226/ap_on_re_us/grounded_f15s]
