Our mission to advocate for the National Guard in Congress has not changed since our formation in 1878. However, the National Guard and NGAUS’ priorities change as the global threat environment changes. The National Guard is essential to the defense of our nation now, more than ever, as homeland defense and great power competition return to the forefront of the National Defense Strategy. Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis said during this year’s NGAUS General Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans, “Everything we do must contribute to increased lethality. So we need you, my fine young National Guardsmen, at the top of your game. Lethality begins when we are physically, mentally, and spiritually fit to be evaluated by the most exacting auditor on earth. And that auditor is war.” Enhanced lethality means maximum readiness. National Guard readiness includes current and proportional fielding of new equipment and weapons platforms to units that are in line with Army and Air Force requirements, legacy platform modernization and recapitalization to ensure safety and reliability, as well Major General as accessibility to robust health care to ensure continuity of care, and deployability for National Guard Donald Dunbar personnel.
