The National GuardProviding safety and security for Americans and American interests both at home and abroad is the first focus for the National Guard. Guardsmen provide assistance for neighbors and their communities at times of natural disasters and other domestic emergencies. Usually, National Guard members serve near their homes, but can be deployed for assistance during emergencies or natural disasters anywhere in the country. While serving on missions during war time, they are liable to find themselves almost anywhere in the world. Service commitments for the National Guard are anywhere from three to six years, and guardsmen are eligible for the same health and educational benefits that their active duty Army counterparts participate. Some of the benefits include educational programs, life insurance, health insurance, flexible training schedule, competitive pay scales and much more.
