About Us

Vermont Air National Guard 158th Fighter Wing is based in South Burlington. The Green Mountain Boys have been serving the citizens of Vermont and the U.S. for over 200 years. In 2019 we made history as the first Air National Guard unit to receive the F-35A Lightning II. We have the longest lasting heritage of any volunteer military force in the country — a tradition you can be a part of today, with a legacy of service to community and country. Both full and part-time positions are available.
