The District of Columbia Air National Guard is the component of the United States Air National Guard operating within the District of Columbia. They are also known as the Capital Guardians.
Because Washington, D.C. lacks an Air Force installation with a runway, DC Air National Guard units are stationed at nearby Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
The 231st Combat Communications Squadron is due to be deactivated at the beginning of the next Fiscal Year. The DC Army National Guard will be taking over the mission of the 231st.
