California Army National Guard

The California Army National Guard is a reserve military force that operates under state and national authority. It provides trained soldiers who assist in emergencies like natural disasters, support community needs, and are prepared to be deployed overseas for national defense. The Guard works closely with local agencies and the U.S. Army, offering flexible military support while also serving as a community resource. Members balance civilian careers with military duties, contributing to both state and national security and resilience.
