WISCONSIN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD

WHAT IS THE WISCONSIN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD?

The Army National Guard is a unique element of the U.S. military that serves both community and country. The Guard responds to domestic emergencies, overseas combat missions, counterdrug efforts, reconstruction missions and more. Any state governor or the President of the United States can call on the Guard in a moment’s notice. Guard Soldiers hold civilian jobs or attend college while maintaining their military training part-time. Guard Soldiers’ primary area of operation is their home state.
