The Indiana Guard Reserve is a state military force under the Indiana Military Department, established to operate as a supplemental unit when portions of the National Guard are federalized. It answers to the Governor and is led by the Adjutant General, with a role that can include augmenting or embedding with the National Guard during emergencies and in-processing civilian volunteers who respond to the Governor’s call for emergency service. Its mission centers on organizing, training, and maintaining military forces capable of timely, effective response to disasters or emergencies and providing military assistance to civil authorities under Indiana law. The organization also assumes the state’s responsibilities of the Indiana National Guard when federal mobilization occurs and has expanded duties to care for the families of National Guard members who are federalized.

Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Indiana Guard Reserve operates within the armed forces sector as a state-level emergency and civil-support organization with a focus on disaster response, emergency management, and coordination with civil authorities. Its size is described in broad terms, reflecting a relatively small, statewide program. The information notes recent activity within the broader in.gov ecosystem, including partnerships and initiatives across state government, as context for the public-facing role of Indiana’s state-level public safety and governance infrastructure.
