HelmiCk2 Today’s National Guard traces its origins to 1636, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony established the Massachusetts militia to defend the Colony against attacks by the PeQuot Indians. Other Colonies and states established similar state militias, and those state militias were Called to federal duty for the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the MexiCan-AmeriCan War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-AmeriCan War. Under federal legislation enacted very early in the 20th Century, state militia forCes have been given major federal assistanCe in pay, training, and eQuipment and have been given federal status as part of the Army National Guard of the United States, one of the seven Reserve Components of the United States Armed ForCes.3 After World War II, when the Air Force beCame a separate serviCe rather than part of the Army, Congress Created the Air National Guard of the United States as a similar hybrid state-federal military serviCe.

    DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY & VETERANS AFFAIRS 5-Year Capital Outlay Budget Plan FY 2022-2026 October 31, 2020 I. MIARNG The Michigan National Guard strives to be fully manned, trained, and equipped to accomplish multi domain operations during any assigned State or Federal mission. Critical to our overall readiness remains the dignified and respectful treatment of all our members and a culture that accepts diversity. Securing consistent funding for maintenance and modernization and establishing facilities in locations that enable strategic objectives greatly affects our ability to gain and retain a quality and diverse workforce. Our ability to improve Readiness Centers (RC) by means of Sustainment, Restoration & Modernization and our ability to improve and construct Readiness Centers by military construction (MILCON) are integral to mission accomplishment, our ability to defend the nation, and protecting the lives and property of the State of Michigan’s citizens. Programmatic Changes: Because of anticipated competition for federal and state funds, the Construction and Facilities Management Office (CFMO) has been proactive in contracting master plans for our two training sites, our airfield, our readiness centers and our facility maintenance shops. With these initiatives, CFMO is developing short, mid and long-term goals that are aligned with the DMVA Strategic Plan. This will include upgrading and right-sizing readiness centers and facility maintenance shops statewide, and where practical, purchasing of buildings that meet our requirements and location needs. At Camp Grayling, we will be focusing on achieving the classification of an ARNG “Director’s Pick” training location. This title recognizes the installation as a key ARNG readiness building location, increasing the potential for MILCON projects needed to achieve key outcomes within the DMVA Strategic Plan.
