The 125th Fighter Wing is an Air National Guard unit headquartered at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base (ANGB), Florida, which operates the F-35A Lightning II airframe. The unit operates under the Air Combat Command (ACC) and is primarily tasked with aerospace control and air defense, ensuring rapid response capabilities for state and federal missions. The wing is postured to deploy globally in support of combat operations, humanitarian missions, and disaster relief efforts.
When not mobilized or under federal control, the unit reports to the Governor of Florida through the Adjutant General of Florida and the Assistant Adjutant General for Air. They support the protection of life and property, and the preservation of peace, order and public safety. These state missions are typically accomplished through emergency relief support during natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and forest fires; search and rescue operations; support to civil defense authorities; maintenance of vital public services and counterdrug operations.
