Wait — What Actually IS the National Guard?
The Nevada National Guard is made up of Nevada residents — people who live, work, and go to school right here in the state. Guard members serve part-time, usually one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer. The rest of the time, they're doing exactly what you're doing: going to school, working their jobs, raising families.
The Guard has a dual mission. First, we support the Governor during state emergencies — natural disasters, severe weather, and community crises. When you see troops responding in Nevada, that's us. Second, we maintain readiness to serve the nation when called.
It's not full-time active duty. It's not the Reserves. It's Nevada's own force — locally rooted, community focused.
