The present-tense military map around this ground, verified as of November 2026, has three entries and an Osceola zero: In Osceola: no standing unit — the Guard's station lists seat nothing in the town, and the town's standing military presence remains what Wars & Military Service closes on: American Legion Post 308 and its Riders, a veterans' institution, not a unit. The county's unit: Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 151st Infantry, at South Bend (item 3 above) — the battalion whose companies ring the region at Gary, Logansport, Warsaw and Frankfort — with the Guard engineering company returning to South Bend's renovated Rose Street armory in 2026 (item 4). The region's wing, at Fort Wayne boundary size: the 122nd Fighter Wing — the "Blacksnakes" — at Baer Field Air National Guard Base, whose conversion from the A-10 Thunderbolt II to the F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block 40), begun under the fiscal-2023 National Defense Authorization Act (signed 23 December 2022) with the first F-16 arriving 20 October 2023, was announced complete on 28 April 2026, the wing having regained active combat certification and deployment readiness after demonstrating full mission capability, including live-munitions employment, in Exercise Checkered Flag 26-1 — 21 A-10s replaced, under Col. Scott T. Boatright's command. The wing that flew F-16s from Fort Wayne in 1991–2010 flies them again; that is Fort Wayne's standing presence, and Osceola's is the battalion at the county seat and the Legion post on Lincolnway — each printed at its own size, neither inflated into the other.
