Happy 384th birthday, National Guard! On 13 December 1636, the first militia regiments in North America organized in Massachusetts. Based upon an order of the Massachusetts Bay Colony’s General Court, the colony’s militia was organized into three permanent regiments to defend the colony better. Dec. 13, 1636, thus marks the beginning of the organized militia, and the birth of the National Guard’s oldest organized units is symbolic of the founding of all the state, territory and District of Columbia militias that collectively make up today’s National Guard. #Guard384 #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere

The Maine National Guard is a professional organization of Soldiers and Airmen serving in all of the communities within the state of Maine. The Maine National Guard provides trained units to the nation equipped and ready to defend the United States and its interests all over the globe. Like Maine itself, the Maine National Guard has the distinction of having existed as an organization prior to the existence of the United States itself. Maine was often at the frontlines of American history. Consequently, Maine has developed a population of strong-willed, independent, and innovative men and women. These men and women have always stepped forward to defend home and hearth, from 1642 until this very day. Enlisting in the National Guard means more time at home.

Maine History

Joshua Chamberlain

Like Maine itself, the Maine Army National Guard has the distinction of having existed as an organization prior to the existence of the United States itself, and yet not as a state until 1820. Its borders beset by the French and their American Indian allies, at odds with its own neighbor of Massachusetts, Maine was often at the frontlines of American history. As a consequence, Maine developed a population of strong-willed, independent, and innovative men and women.
