North Carolina Army National Guard

History

The North Carolina National Guard, or Carolina militia as it was originally known, was born from the Carolina Charter of 1663. The charter gave to the Proprietors the right "to Leavy Mufter and Trayne all sortes of men of what Conditon or wherefoever borne in the said Province for the tyme being".

Structure

The North Carolina Army National Guard is organized into six major commands. These units come under supervision of the Adjutant General in time of peace, and automatically become part of his command when they are first ordered into active service in the active military services of the United States in case of emergency:
