The Georgia National Guard is a state-level military organization comprised primarily of part-time civilian Guardsmen who serve the state and country. It operates under a dual mission that encompasses both state and federal duties, with state missions commanded by the governor through the Adjutant General and the possibility of mobilization during emergencies such as storms, fires, earthquakes, or civil disturbances. The organization is based in Acworth, Georgia, and functions within the armed forces sector. When federalized, Guard units come under the command of the theater’s Combatant Commander, aligning with national defense objectives. The Georgia National Guard serves state and national needs by providing emergency response and civil-support capabilities to local communities, supported by a workforce numbering in the hundreds. In January 2023, reports noted leadership changes involving Brigadier General John Gentry leaving the Georgia National Guard to assume a county government role.
