National Guard Bureau

The National Guard Bureau (NGB) is a key organization within the U.S. military that oversees and coordinates the activities of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. It connects state National Guards with the federal government, ensuring they are prepared for both domestic emergencies and overseas missions. The NGB helps manage resources, training, and policies, balancing between state and national responsibilities. It plays a crucial role in supporting states during disasters and contributing to national defense efforts. Essentially, it ensures that the National Guard operates effectively both locally and as part of the larger military structure.
