Calendar of Events

The Army National Guard is one component of the total U.S. Army, which consists of Active, Guard, and Reserve components. The Army National Guard is composed of citizen-soldiers – civilians who serve their country on a part-time basis. Each state and territory has its own Army National Guard as established in the United States Constitution. The Army National Guard provides more than half the combat power of America's Army, as well as more than a third of its combat support and combat service support structure.

Mission

The Guard has a unique dual mission, with both Federal and State (Guam) responsibilities. During peacetime, the Governor, through the State Adjutant General, commands the Guard forces. The Governor can call the Guard into action during local or island wide emergencies, such as typhoons, aircraft emergencies, and civil disturbances, to name a few. In addition, the President of the United States can activate the National Guard to participate in Federal missions.

Army Seal

The central element, the Roman cuirass, is a symbol of strength and defense. The sword, esponton (a type of half-pike formerly used by subordinate officers), musket, bayonet, cannon, cannon balls, mortar, and mortar bombs are representative of Army implements. The drum and drumsticks are symbols of public notification of the Army’s purpose and intent to serve the Nation and its people. The Phrygian cap (often called the Cap of Liberty) supported on the point of an unsheathed sword and the motto "This We’ll Defend" on a scroll held by the rattlesnake is a symbol depicted on some American colonial flags and signifies the Army’s constant readiness to defend and preserve the United States.
