Founded in 1948, the purpose of the National Guard Association of Georgia shall be to advance the best interests of its members in support of the betterment of the Georgia National Guard as a ready, reliable, and relevant component of local, state and national security programs, now and in the future.
We look at NGAGA as being “your voice” both on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC and at the State Capitol in Atlanta. NGAGA and NGAUS are always working for you regardless of your status i.e. drilling status at home, title 10 deployed in support of the war on terror or title 32 securing the US and Mexican Borders.
While you are keeping America safe and strong we are working on legislation that will provide both personal amenities and keep equipment and training upgraded so that you can perform your duties and keep the Guard relevant.
