About
To promote and support the national security of the united states, improve the combat readiness of and maintain a strong national guard, provide insurance benefits to members and their dependents through affiliates, and to provide information and educational programs relating to national security and the history of the national guard.
The association includes nearly 45,000 current or former Guard officers. It was created in 1878 to provide unified National Guard representation in Washington. In their first productive meeting after Reconstruction, militia officers from the North and South formed the association with the goal of obtaining better equipment and training by petitioning Congress for more resources. Today, 132 years later, NGAUS has the same mission.
