The 142nd Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard includes one of only two Air National Guard special tactics squadrons in
the nation, which is why the old name of 142nd Fighter Wing was outdated.
Oregon Air National Guard’s
142nd Fighter Wing redesignated
By DICK HUGHES
For the Oregon Capital
Bureau
SALEM — In times of
war, Oregon Air National
Guard’s citizen-airmen and
airwomen may fly fighter
missions abroad, infiltrate
hostile territory to estab-
lish airfields or go behind
enemy lines to rescue
downed pilots and crews.
Within the U.S., they put
those skills to use assist-
ing with search-and-res-
cue missions in the Pacific
Northwest,
preparing
for the Cascadia earth-
quake and responding to
such disasters as hurri-
canes and the 2007 flood
in Vernonia. They also
have helped with Oregon’s
coronavirus response.
And 24 hours a day, they
guard America’s skies from
Northern California to the
Canadian border.
That wide-ranging mis-
sion is reflected in a new
designation for about 1,400
members of the Oregon Air
National Guard — 142nd
Wing. However, the mis-
sion remains the same.
The wing, based at Port-
land Air National Guard
Base, has flown fighter mis-
sions since World War II
and currently operates F-15
Eagle fighter jets. “We are
still fully committed to fly-
ing fighters, and we’ll con-
tinue to excel in that mis-
sion area,” said Col. Adam
Sitler, wing commander.
The 142nd Wing also
includes one of only two Air
National Guard special tac-
tics squadrons in the nation,
which is why the old name
of 142nd Fighter Wing was
outdated.
Special tactics airmen
and airwomen are “amaz-
ingly well-suited” for a
range of complex tasks,
Sitler said. They include air
traffic controllers, weather
forecasters, communication
specialists and pararescue
experts. They are trained to
operate in hostile territory
and behind enemy lines.
The wing’s members,
which includes 450 who are
full time, come from Ore-
gon and Southwest Wash-
ington. “We’re here. We’re
part of the community. A
great majority of our mem-
bers have grown up here.
They’ve gone to high school
here or college here,” Sitler
said.
Oregon National Guard
units have been deployed
around the world for com-
bat,
peacekeeping
or
humanitarian missions. As
with the rest of the National
Guard, Oregon’s air and
army units serve both the
state and the nation. “Not
only do we report to Pres-
ident Trump but we also
report to Gov. Brown,”
Master Sgt. Steven Conk-
lin said.
The Oregon Air National
Guard also includes the
Klamath Falls-based 270th
Air Traffic Control Squad-
ron and 173rd Fighter Wing,
which trains F-15 pilots.
