Louisville Air National Guard Base is the home base of the Kentucky Air National Guard 123d Airlift Wing.[1]
The 123d Airlift Wing (AW) of the Kentucky Air National Guard occupies two parcels of leased land on the Louisville International Airport (IAP); one of 76 acres and the other of 5. The base is located on the northeast side of the airport approximately five miles south of downtown Louisville, Kentucky. [1]
The mission of the 123d AW is to provide worldwide theater airlift for U.S. military and to support humanitarian operations. The unit currently flies the C-130H Hercules aircraft and occupies four administrative, six industrial and two services buildings totaling approximately 355,000 square feet. The 123d has 334 full-time personnel, a number that surges once a month to 1,180 personnel during unit training drills.[1]
