The 611th Air Operations Group, based at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska consists of five squadrons and two numbered flights that develop plans, procedures and directives for the employment of Alaskan combat and support forces assigned to the 11th Air Force, PACAF and NORAD. They maintain air sovereignty and conduct air defense operations for the Alaska NORAD Region. Additionally, they direct rescue operations and provide tactical support for air and land forces. Prior to October, 2006, the 611th AOG planned and executed Pacific Air Forces' premier national and multinational large force training exercise, Red Flag - Alaska. This mission, and the 353d Combat Training Squadron, was returned to the 354th Fighter Wing at Eielson AFB.
