We are a part-time Service, one weekend a month and two weeks in the Summer. We react to natural disasters, State emergencies, and deploy overseas. When a natural disaster strikes, whether it’s a tornado, flood, fire or blizzard, State Governors send their National Guard into action. These citizen soldiers become local heroes; saving lives, protecting property, and helping communities get back on their feet. The Nebraska National Guard is always there to help our communities. National Guard units are located throughout the state and, when needed, can be mobilized to help the citizens of Nebraska. The National Guard plays an important role in the defense of American interests around the world. The Nebraska National Guard receives the same training as the United States Army. Overnight, Nebraskans can be in their military uniforms, on their way to protect our nation and its interests as part of America’s Total Force.
