United States Army National Guard

The Army National Guard consists of the "land force" of the United States National Guard, or organized militia, of the several States and Territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, active and inactive, as defined in Title 32, USC Section 101. The Army National Guard of the United States is a component of the United States Army. Maintained by the National Guard Bureau, units are under command of the state's governor. An exception to this rule is the D.C Army National Guard; the D.C Army Nation Guard is under the direction of the President of the United States. When the unit is federalized, the unit falls under the command of the President of the United States.
