Mass NG

The Massachusetts National Guard (Mass NG) traces its origins to December 13, 1636, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony organized its militia regiments, making it the oldest units in continuous service in the United States. Throughout its history, the Mass NG has played a pivotal role in major conflicts, including the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, and more recent overseas operations. The Guard has also been crucial in responding to state emergencies, natural disasters, and civil disturbances. Today, the Massachusetts National Guard stands as a modern, dual-mission force, ready to serve both the Commonwealth and the nation.
