National Guard Domestic Operations - This regulation/instruction prescribes policies, procedures, responsibilities, and direction for activities required for the operational employment or training of Army and Air National Guard units, personnel, and equipment. It governs the training, planning, preparations, and operations of National Guard units and forces in the Homeland, hereafter referred to as National Guard Domestic Operations (NGDO). This publication is a major revision. While both the U.S. Armed Forces and the National Guard have a long history of conducting domestic operations; the scale, scope, and complexity of these operations have expanded significantly since September 11, 2001. Prior to then, military involvement in domestic operations was almost exclusively in the area of civil support operations; generally limited to providing support to civil authorities in response to natural disasters or accidents. Post 9/11, the National Guard's role has expanded to include additional Homeland Defense and Homeland Security missions.
