Die Mitglieder der Nationalgarde sind freiwillig Dienst leistende Milizsoldaten , die dem Gouverneur von Georgia Brian Kemp unterstehen. Bei Einsätzen auf Bundesebene ist der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten Commander-in-Chief. Adjutant General of Georgia ist seit 2019 Major General Thomas M. Carden Jr.[1]
Die Georgia National Guard führt ihre Wurzeln auf Milizverbände der Province of Georgia des Jahres 1751 zurück. Die Nationalgarden der Bundesstaaten sind seit 1903 bundesgesetzlich und institutionell eng mit der regulären Armee und Luftwaffe verbunden, so dass unter bestimmten Umständen mit Einverständnis des Kongresses die Bundesebene auf sie zurückgreifen kann. Davon zu trennen ist die Staatsgarde , die Georgia State Defense Force und die Georgia Naval Militia (z. Z. inaktiv), die allein dem Bundesstaat verpflichtet sind.[2] Georgia National Guard besteht aus den beiden Teilstreitkraftgattungen des Heeres und der Luftstreitkräfte , namentlich der Army National Guard Air National Guard .Georgia Army National Guard hatte 2017 eine Personalstärke von 10789, die Georgia Air National Guard eine von 2687, was eine Personalstärke von gesamt 13476 ergibt.[3]
