How to Find the National Guard
--The Current Role of the National Guard--
Over the years, the National Guard has seen the nature of its mission change, with more frequent call ups in response to crises in such places as Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq. Most recently, following the attacks of September 11, 2001, more than 50,000 members of the National Guard were called up by both their States and the Federal government to provide security at home and combat terrorism abroad. Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the National Guard deployed tens of thousands of troops in support of the areas impacted by the hurricane. Today, tens of thousands of National Guard members are serving in combat areas in Iraq and Afghanistan. The National Guard continues to work towards its historic dual mission, providing to the states units trained and equipped to protect life and property, while providing to the nation units trained, equipped and ready to defend the United States and its interests, all over the globe.
--Serving in the National Guard--
Before September 11, 2001, the National Guards general policy regarding mobilization was that Guardsmen would be required to serve no more than one year cumulative on active duty (with no more than six months overseas) for each five years of regular drill. Due to strains placed on active duty units following the attacks, the possible mobilization time was increased to 18 months (with no more than one year overseas). Additional strains placed on military units as a result of the invasion of Iraq further increased the amount of time a Guardsman could be mobilized to 24 months. Furthermore, most National Guardsmen have now served at least one combat tour in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
