As we all know, the US Army is known as the most powerful armed force in the world, and the National Guard is the reserve force of the US Army, also known as the "National Guard". In fact, the reserve forces of the US military are divided into two parts, one is the National Guard and the other is the Federal Reserve.
The National Guard has a long history. Its history can be traced back to 1636. At the beginning, in order to defend the colony, a militia force was set up. 1824, this unit was officially renamed the National Guard.
Because of its particularity, it is essentially different from the regular army of the United States. The United States is known as the "world policeman", and his figure is all over the world, but under normal circumstances, they will not be sent abroad. However, with the expansion of the US military overseas, the regular army has become somewhat difficult to deal with. Then we'll have to transfer from the national guard.
Their usual tasks are similar to those of the armed police in China, such as maintaining social order and carrying out various security work. When there are large-scale riots and riots, national soldiers also need to rush to the scene to maintain order.
Their equipment is also very advanced. The National Air Guard is equipped with the most advanced F22 fighter, the Army is equipped with M 1A 1 tank, and the ships used by the Navy have a displacement of more than 8,000 tons.
It can be seen that the national army is actually an army. Although seemingly similar in function, there are also huge differences.
Many people will think that the US military's disaster relief is weak, but in fact, they can't be blamed. According to American regulations, the American army has no right to enter the States without authorization, whether for disaster relief or other tasks.
