Overview

The United States military and the state National Guard have a long and proud tradition of defending our nation from attack and assisting civil authority during times of crisis. Not withstanding its primary federal purpose of fighting our nation's wars, the frequency with which US military forces are employed for homeland security related missions has risen dramatically since 9/11. This change is understandable given the increase in the perceived and actual threat to our nation. The US military, which is one of the largest federal investments, is arguably the most versatile American organization in terms of capability and responsiveness. Fiscal appropriations by the Congress for US Armed Forces organizational structure, composition, and equipment are intended to satisfy the current National Military Strategy.
