National Guard and State Guard Headquarters Patches from WW II to Today, All 50 States & Districts 

thank you for your support

Very welcome

I think he was primarily doing just the Headquarters elements of each States respective Army National Guard because a lot of Division and Brigade patches were missing from each State. So the patches that would be worn by forces that fall under a JFHQ or similar and any Soldiers not directly assigned to a patched unit.

ah, got me. never seen that one.

yes but they were a big deal on the home front in WW II, now not so much.

Thank you!!

THANKS, I did not know that!

thanks 😊

Yeah, the Air Force has one, it’s called the Air National Guard. The Space Force even has one? The Space National Guard?

The State Militia is separate from the National Guard and often precede the formation of the modern National Guard as in Ohio.

@@johnnysegovia6303The Space Force National Guard does not exist, it is still being debated in Congress and multiple States who have space assets in their respective Army and Air National Guard elements are advocating for a Space National Guard so they can retain those assets. The United States Space Force currently is only Active Duty and does not have a Reserve.

The United States National Guard which includes the respective Army National Guard and Air National Guard of each State, Washington D.C., and three Territories is part of the Reserve Component which includes the National Guard and the Reserves. Unlike the traditional Reserves the National Guard has combat units and is the primary combat reserve of the Active Component of the Armed Forces for the United States Army and the United States Air Force. The National Guard, depending on the orders they are on are traditionally paid by federal funds and wear the same uniform as their Active Duty counterparts as well as conduct the same Basic Training and MOS Training requirements and standards. The National Guard while it has roots in the Militia is no longer considered part of the Militia or State Defense Force as unlike a State Militia, State Guard, or State Defense Force, etc the National Guard of their respective 50 States, Washington D.C., and the three Territories can be federalized or called to Active Duty via Title 10 Orders. Though the National Guard is typically in a reserve status or on Title 32 Orders or similar orders, they have been deploying overseas, conducting federal missions, and supporting the Active Component since World War I to include the recent Global War on Terrorism with Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and many other nations where every single National Guard Brigade Combat Team deployed for war not to mention the National Guard State Partnership Program which was started at the end of the Cold War where each National Guard from each State was assigned a foreign nation to partner and train with to broaden U.S. diplomacy and allied military cooperation. At home the National Guard continues to train and go on orders for State issues and missions such as natural disasters like wild fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes and also on the U.S.-Mexico Border conducting law enforcement or determent operations.

To put it Lightly the National Guard and the state guards Are both under the orders of the governor in peacetime, however, only the National Guard is the one that the President can federalize.

well , now we two South Carolina boys arguing over the crescent or Gorget..I am not sure which of us is correct..heh, heh
