Description

Joe Foss Field Air National Guard Station is located three miles northwest of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The site was established as an airfield in 1937 and was leased to the federal government in 1942 to become the Sioux Falls Army Air Field. Between 1942 and 1945, the installation functioned as a logistical supply center and a radio operator training facility, providing instruction to 40,000 personnel. The facility was returned to municipal control in 1946, the same year the South Dakota Air National Guard was established. The installation is named for aviator and 20th Governor of South Dakota, Joe Foss.

The station hosts the Headquarters of the South Dakota Air National Guard and the 114th Fighter Wing. The 114th Fighter Wing, designated the "Fighting Lobos," is an Air Combat Command gained unit. The South Dakota Air National Guard is headquartered at this facility, while the South Dakota Adjutant General is based at Camp Rapid.

The Air National Guard Station is situated south and west of the commercial and general aviation areas. The installation contains standard facilities of a small United States Air Force base, with the exception of family housing. The 114th Fighter Wing operates F-16C and F-16D aircraft.
