Army National Guard
Since 2000, the Hernando County Airport has been a joint civil-military airfield, home to the Florida Army National Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility #2 and the 171st Aviation Battalion (171 AVN BN), which relocated from their previous facility at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, occupying newly constructed facilities adjacent to an existing Florida Army National Guard Armory housing the 3rd Battalion, 20th Special Forces. The 171 AVN BN flies UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and C-23 Sherpa fixed-wing cargo aircraft.

Famous quotes containing the words army, national and/or guard:
“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion. The man who thinks that the perpetuity of slavery is essential to the existence of the Union, is unfit to be trusted. The deadliest enemy the Union has is slavery—in fact, its only enemy.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Lord Angelo is precise,
Stands at a guard with envy, scarce confesses
That his blood flows, or that his appetite
Is more to bread than stone. Hence shall we see
If power change purpose, what our seemers be.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
