Gowen Field Air National Guard Base is the home base of the Idaho Air National Guard 124th Fighter Wing.〔(124th Fighter Wing website )〕 ==Overview== The 124th Fighter Wing, Idaho Air National Guard includes two flying squadrons and 12 support units based at Gowen Field Air National Guard Base in Boise, Idaho. The 124th Wing, a reserve component of the US Air Force, is one of the few Air Guard units in the nation with three separate federal missions.〔 From 1975 to 1991, the mission of the 124th Wing flew RF-4C Phantom II reconnaissance aircraft and from 1991 to 1996 the wing flew F-4G Wild Weasel defense suppression aircraft. As the F-4 was being phased out of the U.S military in 1996, the 124th Wing was selected to assume close-air support and tactical airlift missions. Therefore, the aircraft based at Gowen Field were replaced with A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft and C-130 Hercules transports.〔 BRAC 2005 moved the C-130 Hercules aircraft to the 153d Airlift Wing (ANG), Cheyenne Air National Guard Base, Wyoming.〔 Gowen Field is also the home of the Idaho Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and reserve units of the Army, Navy, and Marines. The Idaho Army National Guard is also very active at Gowen Field, and consists of armor, helicopter, and other training units. The combined area within the Airport boundaries under exclusive-use military lease is about 570 acres of land. Another 1,500 acres on the Airport is under a joint-use agreement between the City and the military.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gowen Field Air National Guard Base」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
