National Guard PrinciplesNational Guard Principles

• Mission #1: Secure and defend our homeland here and abroad

• We are an institution of people . . . soldiers, airmen, families and employers

• Transform as we operate

• Organize, train, equip and resource National Guard units like their active component counterparts

• Remain essential – the Constitutionally ratified, community-based, dual-missioned citizen militia (Art. 1, Sec. 8, Cls. 15 & 16 US Const.)

• Do what is right for America

Commitment to StatesCommitment to States

• Provide sufficient capabilities under state control

• Ensure appropriate capabilities/unit mix

• Provide a more predictable model for operational rotations

• Nationwide, rebalance and leverage Army Guard formations for the Warfight, Homeland Defense and support to Homeland Security operations

• Convert units no longer required through technological advances or strategic and tactical needs

• Reduce Force Structure, while maintaining End Strength, to increase Readiness

• Transform into modular or “plug and play,” capabilities-based forces capable of seamlessly integrating with other Army formations in joint and combined expeditionary and campaign operations
