District of Columbia National Guard Career Opportunities

No Guard is closer to the heart of America than the District of Columbia Army National Guard. The D.C. Guard is the only Guard unit activated by the president, not a governor, for natural and civil emergencies. They've been defending the nation's capital for hundreds of years, originally organized as the First Legion, Columbian Brigade. In WWII, the 121st Engineer Battalion, a part of the 29th Infantry Division, took part in the assault landing on D-Day. They served their capital and country on 9/11, and have been serving since in the Global War on Terror. Start your path to honor as one of the president's own: join the District of Columbia Army National Guard.
