New Hampshire National Guard

The New Hampshire National Guard traces its origins to 1631, making it one of the oldest military organizations in the United States. Throughout its history, the unit has served in major conflicts, including the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, and more recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Guard provides trained units for state and federal missions, including disaster response, homeland defense, and overseas deployments. Today, the New Hampshire National Guard continues its dual mission of serving both the citizens of New Hampshire and the nation.
