ARNG of Connecticut

The Connecticut Army National Guard (CTARNG) traces its origins to the colonial militia formed in 1636, making it one of the oldest military organizations in the United States. Throughout its history, Connecticut's citizen-soldiers have served in major conflicts including the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, and more recent operations such as in Iraq and Afghanistan. The unit provides both federal and state missions, ranging from overseas deployments to disaster response within Connecticut. Today, the CTARNG continues its legacy of service, readiness, and support to both the nation and the state.
