Battle Creek Air National Guard Base is located three nautical miles west of Battle Creek, Michigan, situated within the Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field. The facility was established as a municipal airport in 1925. During the Second World War, the airfield was utilized by the United States Army Air Forces, including the 394th Bombardment Group which arrived in August 1943. In 1947, the installation was designated as the base for the 172nd Fighter Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard.

The 110th Wing of the Michigan Air National Guard operates the installation. The unit is operationally gained by the Air Combat Command. The wing operates the MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft.

The base occupies a portion of a 1,500-acre joint civil-military airport.
