Nebraska National Guard

The Nebraska National Guard was established in 1854, shortly after Nebraska became a territory, to provide local defense and order. Throughout its history, the unit has served in major conflicts, including the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the Global War on Terrorism. The Nebraska National Guard has also played a key role in responding to state emergencies, such as natural disasters and civil disturbances. Today, it continues its dual mission of supporting both national defense and state emergency operations.
