Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Arizona can now have a State Guard, seperate for the AZNG. Gov Brewer signed the Bill today. Way to go Gov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 What does that mean for all the construction work done at Ben Avery shooting facility (i.e. roads, berms, etc.)? In the past AZNG construction engineers did this work for practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are generally not combat troops but support units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 We have one in Texas and we can be activated if the TXNG is activated. We can also be used to supliment the NG in a disaster such as a flood or the range fires we're having right now. Most are vetrans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Considering that the National Guard is for all practical purposes a branch of the Army - which was not the original idea - having a home guard that is under the authority of the state exclusively is a good idea. Good for you Governor Brewer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are generally not combat troops but support units. Kinda like the NG if they're activated to supplement the Border Patrol...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
