CAREERS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD
The United States of America is divided into 50 states and each state has its National Guard. The National Guard is primarily divided into two categories: the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. The role of the National Guard in United States is twofold; first, it is a national force that serves the country at times of emergency or war, and second, it is a state force, under the control of the governor, ready to assist citizens in times of domestic crisis or catastrophe.
Almost all of the positions within the National Guard are part-time, as members are expected to serve just one weekend a month, and are trained for only two weeks in a year.
