From humble beginnings as the 944th Troup Carrier Group at March AFB, Ca., the 944th has answered this nation’s call for nearly six decades. Though our mission has changed, our commitment to excellence has never wavered. Today we celebrate our 25th year as the 944th Fighter Wing, and we are proud of our many years of faithful service to this country. Our mission is to forge combat Airmen to fly, fight and win. We are a unit of elite Reserve Citizen Airmen – engaged, ready, and resilient. The 944th Fighter Wing boasts more than 2,200 members in five groups, 14 squadrons, two detachments, two flights and five locations spanning the country.
