Our Mission

Provide mission ready Airmen on order to the Governor of Virginia or the United States' President.

The mission of the 192nd Wing, Virginia Air National Guard, is to provide a fully trained organization of volunteer Airmen dedicated to protect and defend the vital interests of the nation, state and community. The wing provides combat-ready personnel and equipment to support United States' national security objectives in a federal capacity; protect life and property and preserve peace, order and safety in a state capacity; and participate in local, state and national programs that add value to the U.S. in a community capacity.

Our Vision

We are the Commonwealth's Citizen Airmen... ELITE, EMPOWERED, EFFECTIVE.

What does this mean, and what does it aim to achieve? 

First, to be ELITE, we must recruit and retain the best Airmen in the Air National Guard and Air Force. To do this means we must do the little things well, be coachable, and be accountable to ourselves and each other so we are READY when the nation or commonwealth need us. Citizens and Airmen should aspire to be part of our wing. We are integrated by design and innovative nature. Lean into those strengths.

Second, you are EMPOWERED. That means, simply, as the Wing Commander, I've got your back. If you are doing something to make yourself or another team member more READY, more LETHAL, or a better LEADER, move out with confidence. Think of this as standing Mission Type Orders. In place of more specific guidance, make yourself and those around you a bigger problem for our adversaries.

Lastly, we must be EFFECTIVE. Your time is this wing's most valuable commodity. The limited resources we are given to compensate you and increase your lethality must therefore be managed with the utmost respect. Every second we get to wear the uniform together is time we must spend getting better. We cannot walk past problems or ignore our natural role as the backstop of experience and credibility.
