The "National Guard" is like a team of superheroes 🦸 that can be called upon by both the state and federal government. It's a military reserve force organized at the state level. Guardsmen and women train regularly and can be activated for emergencies like natural disasters 🌪️, civil unrest, or even deployment overseas. Unlike the regular army, they have civilian jobs or attend school while serving. They balance both military and civilian life, providing support to their communities and the nation.
