In this episode of From the Dive Shop, Patrick sits down with key members from the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) to discuss how the Guard advocates for modernization, benefits, and readiness across all 54 states and territories. From its origins in 1878, to its role today as a powerful voice on Capitol Hill, the conversation explores how NGAUS drives equipment parity, professional development, innovation, and funding initiatives to ensure the Guard remains ready for both domestic response and the modern international battlefield. It’s an inside look at how advocacy, industry partnership, and state-level innovation shape the future of the National Guard.
