Since 1636, the Guard has served America as both a wartime force and the first military responders in times of domestic crisis. Hundreds of times each year, the nation's Governors call upon their National Guard to respond to fires, floods, hurricanes, and a host of other natural disasters. Preparing for, and responding to, whatever Mother Nature throws our way - from Hurricane Katrina to Avian Flu - is how we live up to our motto: The National Guard: Always Ready, Always There.
The National Guard was named when the reorganisation of the force under the Militia Act of 1903. The name National Guard is a bit obvious, and forces intended to be geared solely towards intra-border tasks worldwide have been dubbed National Guard. Their purpose is to guard the nation as a home grown force, first and foremost. A lot of that's changed, especially since Creighton Abrams passed the Total Force Policy in the late 1970s, but that was the purpose for its formation anyhow.
