The New York Guard

Have a recruiter call me

The New York Guard is one of New York’s state military forces, which augments the New York National Guard as a force multiplier. The New York Guard’s primary missions are civil support operations including disaster relief efforts and state emergencies.

As a state defense force, the New York Guard trains and serves without pay but members receive pay and benefits when called up for state activation. Members cannot be federalized for active duty overseas and serve within the state of New York.

Candidates must be a US citizen between 18 to 60 years of age, meet medical standards, and pass a comprehensive background check. Prior military service is welcome, but not required. Veterans are accepted at their former rank, upon review of federal/state discharge paperwork.
