WHAT IS THE NATIONAL GUARD? The National Guard serves both state and federal governments. The difference between the Guard and other branches is that while Guard units are combat-trained and can be deployed overseas, they are just as likely to serve in their home communitiesâ€â€ÂÂtraining just one weekend per month, and one two-week period each year. During local emergencies, Guard units assist residents endangered by storms, floods, fires and other disasters. Guard companies deployed overseas may see combat, but are often found building schools and hospitals, training local peacekeepers or teaching local farmers more efficient techniques and better uses of their land.
Money for College When it comes to paying for school, the National Guard can really help get you on track. By serving in the Guard, you can: Qualify for up to 100% federal tuition assistance (many states also offer assistance).
