// Strategic Significance
Ebbing Air National Guard Base, co-located with Fort Smith Regional Airport, is home to the Arkansas Air National Guard's 188th Wing. The base gained significant strategic importance when it was selected to host the first operational F-35A Lightning II aircraft in the Air National Guard — though that mission was later adjusted, Ebbing remains a significant ANG installation for the region. Its location on the Oklahoma border makes it a key Air National Guard facility for the central southern US.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
Ebbing ANG Base shares runways with Fort Smith Regional Airport, meaning military aircraft operations occur alongside commercial flights. The base supports both state emergency response missions and national defense missions as part of the Air National Guard system.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
Follow Sebastian County Emergency Management directions. Fort Smith airport emergency protocols cover both commercial and military operations on the shared facility.
