Has it really been that long?

Truax Field was activated in June 1942 as a U.S. Army Air Corps base during World War II. In 1968, the base was fully transferred to the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

Named in honor of Wisconsin native Lt. Thomas L. Truax, Truax Field has proudly served as the home of what is now the 115th Fighter Wing.

More than 80 years after its initial activation, the mission continues: training, serving, and defending our nation while building on the legacy of those who came before us.
