Florida National Guard

The Florida National Guard is a reserve military force made up of trained soldiers and airmen from Florida who serve both their state and country. They assist in emergencies like natural disasters, provide disaster relief, support local communities, and can be called upon to help national defense. Members balance civilian life and military duties, training regularly to remain ready. The Guard operates under state authority during local emergencies and under federal authority when called to national service, playing a vital role in both state and national security, disaster response, and community support.
