ARNG State of Vermont

The Army National Guard (ARNG) in the State of Vermont, known as the Vermont Army National Guard, traces its origins to colonial militia units formed in the mid-18th century. Vermont units played a key role in the American Revolution, notably at the Battle of Bennington in 1777. Over the years, the Vermont ARNG has served in major conflicts, including the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and more recently in deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, the Vermont Army National Guard provides both state emergency response and federal military support, maintaining a proud tradition of service and community involvement.
