LAir National Guard (abbreviato in ANG), è la componente aerea della National Guard of the United States ed è composta da riservisti.
Istituita col National Defense Act del 1947, è parte integrante della Guardia Nazionale ed è suddivisa in unità distribuite su tutto il territorio statunitense; le unità operano sotto l'autorità del governo dello Stato in cui sono di stanza.
È istituita in ognuno dei cinquanta stati federati che compongono gli Stati Uniti d'America, dal commonwealth di Porto Rico, dai territori di Guam, delle Isole Vergini e dal Distretto di Columbia, e la disciplina generale riguardo all'organizzazione è contenuta nel Title 10 e Title 32 dello United States Code.
Piloti, navigatori e altro personale tecnico specializzato, sono chiamati in servizio per periodi più lunghi rispetto ai tradizionali "un weekend al mese, due settimane l'anno".
Compiti Le unità della ANG possono essere mobilitate per il servizio attivo, allo scopo di integrare la US Air Force, in tempo di guerra o durante un'emergenza nazionale, frangenti dichiarati dal Congresso, dal Presidente o dal Segretario della Difesa.
L'ANG può essere chiamata in causa in caso di disastri naturali o emergenze interne, oltre che in quei casi in cui il governatore dello Stato sotto cui è posta decida il suo intervento.
