Army National Guard
The Army National Guard is a reserve component of the United States Army that serves both the nation and individual states in times of need. Operating under the dual authority of the federal government and the fifty state governors, the Army National Guard provides trained and ready soldiers for overseas military operations, domestic disaster relief, homeland security, and civil support missions. Its primary data and digital services are focused on recruiting, career management, benefits administration, and public outreach. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) coordinates federal operations and maintains administrative systems under Title 10 and Title 32 of the United States Code.
