Recent events have demonstrated the crucial role the Army National Guard plays when called upon by our nation during times of need. We have responded - we are there.
The reason for our success is clear, the people of our Guard family. The Army National Guard is a collection of people from every state, territory and the District of Columbia. Our soldiers have personal lives to lead, families to support and careers to pursue in the civilian sector.
In addition, we not only ask our service members to be available for regularly scheduled duty, but also to support an increased operational tempo. Soldiers are our most precious resource. They need our assistance to balance their personal, professional and military lives. This section provides useful information for our Army National Guard Soldiers and Family.
Vision
To become the central resource for States, Soldiers and their families in providing responsive, innovative Soldier Support.
Mission
Partner with States, as well as internal and external agencies, to develop and deliver responsive, quality support services for Soldiers.

Retirement Services
Army National Guard programs assist retired Soldiers and dependents in processing through their retirement and accessing their retirement benefits. For example, we have developed a program of mandatory pre-retirement briefings for Soldiers and spouses in all states one year prior to reaching their 20th year of service.
The Army G-1 has published an updated information guide regarding non-regular retirement.
