  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.
