NGAUS 2012 (National Guard Association of the U.S.)

NGAUS Overview

The National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) includes nearly 45,000 current or former National 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.
