The Tennessee State Guard (State Defense Force) 2022 Initial Entry Training class recently held its final training exercises and graduated from Basic Training. The Tennessee State Guard requires every new recruit to go through an Initial Entry Training program unless they served in the United States Military. This Initial Entry Training program takes these new recruits and provides them Basic Military instruction, such as chain of command, Drill & Ceremony, First Aid, Land Navigation, Military Law, etc. Once they finish their Basic Training they will be assigned to their home units and be ready to serve their State & Country.
Congratulations to the Tennessee State Guard Class of 2022.
