Indiana Army National Guard

The Indiana Army National Guard, established in 1801, has served as the primary military reserve force for the state of Indiana. Throughout its history, the Guard has participated in major conflicts, including the Civil War, World Wars I and II, and deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in the 21st century. In addition to federal missions, the Indiana Army National Guard has played a vital role in responding to state emergencies such as natural disasters and civil disturbances. Today, it continues to provide trained soldiers for both domestic support and national defense operations, maintaining readiness as an essential component of the U.S. Army’s total force.
