When Col. Linda McTague assumed command of the 113th Wing, the Washington, DC, Air National Guard unit, on 1 December, she became the first woman to command an ANG wing, and she is believed to be the first woman to command an Air Force fighter squadron. McTague began as an operational support airlift pilot in 1988 before serving as a squadron commander. She was also the first woman to command an ANG flying squadron. Approximately 1,050 people are assigned to the 113th Wing, which includes the 121st Fighter Squadron, an F-16 unit, and the 201st Airlift Squadron, which flies congressmen and other dignitaries around the world in a fleet of C-38 and C-40 operational support aircraft.
