National Guard members have supported more than 1.1 million overseas deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations since the attacks of 9/11. The sustained combat operations also contributed to the Guard's transformation from a strategic reserve to a fully operational force of 453,000 Soldiers and Airmen.

Your National Guard Special Forces training is one weekend (three to four days) per month plus an additional two to four weeks of training per year. Deployments are also less frequent. You will generally be deployed once every two to three years for six to 15 months.
