EO & Diversity

“One of our National Guard’s greatest strengths as an operational force is that we are present in communities across the country. In the end, when you bring in the National Guard, you bring in the richness and diversity of hometown America.” - FRANK J. GRASS, General, USA, Chief of the National Guard Bureau
