The Air Force Home Guard (), is part of the Danish Home Guard. Its mission is to support the Royal Danish Air Force, the police and other national authorities in their emergency management by securing airports, performing aerial environmental patrols of national waters.
Aircraft The Air Force Home Guard operates two leased Britten-Norman Defender BN2A-21 aircraft flown by volunteer civilian pilots. The Defenders entered service in February 2016.
