The Alaska National Guard,
»composed of home town units of
Alaskan eitizens-soldiers, has been
operating under its- present or
ganization only since its re-crea
tion by the Legislature in 1919.
Originally, it was organized late
in 1939 when World War II had
broken out in Europe. In Novem
ber of that year the War Depart
ment first authorized the organiza
tion of two companies and in 1940
the First Battalion of the 297tli
Infantry Regiment came into be
ing. In September .of 1941 the Al
aska National Guard was called
into Federal service and sent to
the States for training.
The members of the First Bat
talion then scattered to the winds,
some staying in the States, others
going to Europe and the South
Pacific, and many returning to A1
aska for duty in the Aleutians and
the far Westward.
In 1949 steps were taken to re
organize the National Guard due
. to a great interest shown in the
ejcEBr-asa-g-':
territory, and the Territ >na! Leg
islature assum.d the obFgation to
maintain and adra nister the Alas
ka National Guard as a raembe
organization of the National Guard
of the United States ami as a terri
torial militia. Later, in 1952, the
Department of the Air Force
authorized the establishment 01
the Alaska Nat'onal Guard*which
today has its 144th Fighter-Int r
ceptor Squadron at Anchorage.
The Alaska National Guard wit';
its Army and. Air arms has 1 .
