Description

Jacksonville Air National Guard Base is located in the southwest quadrant of Jacksonville International Airport in Duval County, Florida. The installation was established on September 1, 1968, following the relocation of the 125th Fighter-Interceptor Group from the closed Imeson Airport.

The 125th Fighter Wing of the Florida Air National Guard serves as the host unit for the base. This wing is operationally-gained by the Air Combat Command. The unit operates F-15C and F-15D Eagle aircraft, and the base received its first F-35A Lightning II in March 2025. The installation is staffed by approximately 300 full-time military personnel and 1,000 part-time traditional guardsmen.

Infrastructure at the base includes USAF-style emergency arresting gear and a fully equipped USAF Crash Fire Rescue station. This station provides aircraft rescue and firefighting services for both military and civil operations at the airport. As a small air force base, the facility does not contain military housing or hospital infrastructure.
