State Defense Force Troops Able To Earn Prestigious Search & Rescue Tab Through New SGAUS Course

In Part 3 of our Commanders Briefing podcast with Lt. Colonel (MD) Barry Greene, President of The State Guard Association of The United States (SGAUS), we dive into an exciting new initiative launching this spring: the SGAUS Search & Rescue program. This upcoming program is designed to provide a unified, national framework that State Defense Forces across the country can adopt and integrate into their existing training curriculums. Lt. Col. Greene outlines how this standardized approach will elevate the professionalism and operational readiness of State Defense Force personnel involved in emergency response and disaster relief missions.

The course will not only offer critical skills and certifications but also bring with it a significant symbol of achievement—a prestigious Search & Rescue tab that qualified personnel will be authorized to wear on their uniforms. The segment highlights SGAUS’s continued efforts to professionalize and enhance the mission readiness of State Defense Forces nationwide through rigorous, recognized training programs.
