The Utah Air National Guard (UT ANG) is the aerial militia of the U.S. State of Utah. Along with the Utah Army National Guard it is an element of the Utah National Guard. As state militia units, the units in the Utah Air National Guard are not in the normal United States Air Force chain of command. They are under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Utah though the office of the Utah Adjutant General unless they are federalized by order of the President of the United States. The Utah Air National Guard is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and its commander is Major General Jefferson Burton. ==Overview== Under the "Total Force" concept, Utah Air National Guard units are considered to be Air Reserve Components (ARC) of the United States Air Force (USAF). Utah ANG units are trained and equipped by the Air Force and are operationally gained by a Major Command of the USAF if federalized. In addition, the Utah Air National Guard forces are assigned to Air Expeditionary Forces and are subject to deployment tasking orders along with their active duty and Air Force Reserve counterparts in their assigned cycle deployment window. Along with their federal reserve obligations, as state militia units the elements of the Utah ANG are subject to being activated by order of the Governor to provide protection of life and property, and preserve peace, order and public safety. State missions include disaster relief in times of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and forest fires, search and rescue, protection of vital public services, and support to civil defense. The Utah Air National Guard is located on over 33.200 qm (82 acres) in the Northeast corner of the Salt Lake City International Airport. In 2007, over 1.450 trained men and women served in the Utah Air National Guard.〔http://www.151arw.ang.af.mil/resources/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=11717〕 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「Utah Air National Guard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
