Welcome

Welcome to the State Guard Association of the United States (SGAUS). We are a national organization representing the more than fifteen thousand men and women who serve today in our nation’s state defense forces.
 
 From the Minutemen of the American Revolution to the Home Guards of the Second World War, volunteers in state military forces have served our nation and our communities with honor and distinction. It is our privilege to represent the men and women who continue the proud American tradition of volunteer service in today’s state military forces.
 
 In support of that ideal, the SGAUS strives to be a voice for today's state defense forces and their members. Our organization works to strengthen our national defense and homeland security by ensuring that our state governors and adjutants general have highly skilled, well-trained state defense forces to call upon in times of crisis.
