Iowa National Guard

Serve Your State. Defend Your Nation.

The Army National Guard is a unique part-time military force with a powerful dual mission—protecting communities at home and supporting the nation when called upon.

As a member of the Guard, you serve under your state's governor to respond to natural disasters, emergencies, and times of crisis. But when the nation needs you, you're also ready to stand alongside the U.S. Army in defense of our country.

With 54 Army National Guard units across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Guard is always ready, always there—wherever you're needed most.
