The volunteer spirit and Tennessee, an inseparable combination since 1780 when Colonel John Sevier called for “100 good men”—and 200 answered—has been a source of pride for generations of Tennesseans.
Today, that spirit is still alive and well with the Tennessee Army National Guard.
They serve as full partners with active duty American men and women, worldwide, to make up the “Total Force” of American defense.
America simply cannot defend herself or go to war without the National Guard.
Tennessee is the home of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the 196th Field Artillery Brigade, the 194th Engineer Brigade, the 30th Troop Command, and the 230th Area Support Group.
