National Guard Day and the guard’s evolving role in U S defense
As National Guard Day approaches, a large portion of the Guard remains on active service for the first time since World War I. Since 1941, Presidents have mobilized Guard divisions and regimental groups for up to 21 months. The force has both federal and state duties, evolving from a local militia to a national reserve integrated with the Regular Army. The piece traces historic origins from 1636 to the 1920 reorganization and notes famed units like the Keystone Division, the Yankee Division, and the Lone Star Division, with ties to several states and Philadelphia's armored units.
