21st Century U.S. Military Manuals: Army National Guard Training - Operational Training Programs, Specialized Training, Antiterrorism, Aviation, Combat Training Centers

The primary objective of the ARNG is to train units that can mobilize, deploy, fight and win anywhere in the world. Our units must be prepared to deploy and fight worldwide with a minimum of post-mobilization training time. The key to this objective is unit readiness through aggressive training programs. Unit leaders are directly responsible for developing and executing sound and challenging training programs that support the wartime mission of their units. The secondary objective of the ARNG is to provide organized units or personnel for defense support of civil authorities (DSCA). Training for these contingencies should be integrated with the training for wartime missions. Such training allows ARNG units to be more effective by reducing the needed response time and using all available resources within the community to the maximum extent.
