  • Mission

    The New York Guard is one of New York’s state military forces, which augments the New York National Guard as a force multiplier. The New York Guard’s primary missions are civil support operations including disaster relief efforts and state emergencies. As a state defense force, the New York Guard trains on a volunteer status but members receive pay and benefits when called up for state activation. Members cannot be federalized for active duty overseas and serve only within the state of New York.
