    Default US National guard

    OK, before I start I just want to point out that I'm not Russian spy and that I'm not planning terrorist attacks on USA, I'm just interrested in military, so here it goes:
    Is there a integral list which shows how many members of US National Guard there is in different states? Something like:
    Texas:10,000
    Maine:12...
    I hope you get the picture.
    Thanx in advance.

    I know there must be numbers out there but the USNG has become rather complicated. Many USNG units have been attached to regular army units, or USNG soilders have been used as replacements for regular army units. So the line between USNG and US Regular Army has become somewhat blurred.

    I believe the information you are looking for can be found on facebook. Or youtube.

    Years before pearl harbor, Japan set its spies on the task of mapping Hawaii. One enterprising young spy decided that rather than walking everywhere and making maps, and one would have to do while spying on Japan or most countries of time, he would simple walk into a gas station, and ask for a map, which strategically enough showed roads and terrain.

    When the Japanese received the map, they spent weeks debating whether or not it was a US deceit, until someone who had actually visited the states informed them that such strategic information was available to anyone who felt like having it in the US.

    This fact apparently terrified the Japanese for years, because only a country hiding deep powerful secrets would be stupid enough to make such information public.

    It has everything except the numbers. All I got is 356,000 total, which I found on Wiki also.

    No, I don't think there is anywhere there are numbers. Also the National Guard is divided between the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard.

    Also, National Guardsmen are not often used as part of Regular Army units, but Reserves are.

    For your information the largest National Guard is Pennsylvania, and the smallest is probably Guam or US Virgin Islands.

    The total reported number of NG in 2002 was 460,000.

    If you really wanted to do some internet investigating you could find the total number of each state by Air and Army.

    Also, the Pennsylvania National Guard has more acolades than the Texas National Guard, and the only Stryker Brigade in the entire National Guard.

    There's not much else to do up in Pennsylvania but join the guard or move to New York.

    They still get no respect despite the time they have spent as active duty.

    Often feared for their incompetence, more than the enemies competence.
