Who We Are
The New York Guard works alongside the New York Air and Army National Guard units to serve the citizens of New York during disasters and emergencies.
What We Do
As a State Defense Force, our mission is similar to what a state's National Guard will do. The biggest difference is that we are only focused on domestic operations (DOMOPS).
Our History
Formed in 1917, the New York Guard has stood ready to serve in the state of New York. Soldiers of the NYG have served in support of our state during every major war and disaster since our founding.
