USAF 176th Operations Group / Alaska Air National Guard / Guardian Angel Patch Set
This is the new 2018 design featuring all the squadrons and the new OCP patch version.
The 176th Operations Group is part of the 176th Wing which is the largest unit of the Alaska Air National Guard. It is a composite wing meaning a wing which operates more than one type of aircraft; each having different mission objectives. From 1969–2011 the 176th Wing was based at Kulis Air National Guard Base, located adjacent to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and approximately 15 miles from JBER. It was recommended for relocation as part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. It now operates out of a set of new and renovated buildings on JBER in an area known colloquially as Camp Kulis.
With the 210th, 211th and 212th Rescue Squadrons, these three squadrons comprise the Combat Search and Rescue/Personnel Recovery (CSAR/PR) component of the wing. The 210th RQS was established in 1990, the units history goes back to 1946. Equipped with HH-60G Pave Hawk Helicopters, HC-130P COMBAT KING specialized Hercules transports and highly qualified pararescue personnel (CROs + PJs). Gained by: Pacific Air Forces.
