The State Mission |
|
During peace times, the National Guard is commanded by the
governor, In it's "state" role, the National Guard assists local law
enforcement agencies during emergencies at the direction of the
governor. The distribution of soldiers, equipment and facilities across
the state allows the National Guard to respond quickly and efficiently
to emergencies statewide.

This dual
federal-state mission is unique to the U.S. military and sets the
National Guard apart from any other reserve component. |
