The Mission Set of The State Defense Forces has consistently evolved over the years. From performing The National Guard’s domestic missions during World War II as National Guard units were deployed overseas to fight against Axis Forces, to responding to terrorism following the attacks on September 11, 2001, the role of State Defense Forces has constantly adapted to the changing world environment.
