Alabama National Guard

The Alabama National Guard traces its roots to the early 19th century, with organized militia units serving in conflicts such as the Creek War and the War of 1812. Officially established as part of the National Guard system in 1903, the Alabama National Guard has since supported both state and federal missions. Its units have seen service in major conflicts, including World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Operation Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terrorism. Throughout its history, the Alabama National Guard has played a vital role in disaster response, homeland security, and supporting communities across the state.
