Nation’s oldest military force ready for duty

The National Guard, America’s oldest military force dating to 1636, has served in every war since 1637. It has supplied divisions in World Wars I and II and Korea, with hundreds of thousands activated in Vietnam and later conflicts. The dual role includes federal activation up to 200,000 for 180 days, funded mostly by the federal government.
