About the Army National Guard
The Army National Guard (ARNG) is one component of the Army (which consists of the Active Army, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve). The Army National Guard is composed primarily of traditional Guardsmen—civilians who serve their country, state and community on a part-time basis (usually one weekend each month and two weeks during the summer). Each state, most territories and the District of Columbia have their own National Guard, as provided for by the Constitution of the United States.
The National Guard has a unique dual mission that consists of both federal and state roles. For state missions, the governor, through the State Adjutant General, commands Guard forces. The governor can call the Army National Guard into action during local or statewide emergencies, such as storms, fires, earthquakes or civil disturbances.
In addition, the president of the United States can activate the National Guard for participation in federal missions. Examples of federal activations include Guard Units deployed to Kosovo and the Sinai for stabilization operations, and Units deployed to the Middle East and other locations in the war on terrorism.
