District of Columbia National Guard

Through selfless service and strong community connections, the citizen Soldiers and Airmen of JTF-DC continue to make a lasting impact. Every mission goes beyond the uniform, strengthening relationships, supporting our neighbors, and building trust where it matters most.

As your neighbors and fellow citizens, we are proud to serve the District of Columbia. Working together with the community, we build the trust essential for creating a safer city for all.

Predatory lending can threaten more than your wallet. It can impact your focus, your family, and your ability to serve. U.S. Army Maj. Margaret P. Serrano, Legal Assistance Attorney with DCNG, breaks down how the Military Lending Act protects service members and their families.

Strong family bonds and healthy relationships contribute to overall resilience, helping reduce stressors that can impact readiness. DCNG Soldiers & their families recently attended a Building Strong & Ready Teams event organized by the Command Chaplain of the D.C. National Guard

Shannon and I join our entire National Guard family in mourning the loss of six brave KC-135 Airmen, including three Ohio Air National Guardsmen assigned to the 121st Air Refueling Wing and three active-duty Airmen from the 99th Air Refueling Squadron, a partner unit with the Alabama National Guard’s 117th Air Refueling Wing.  Heroes, all. Our air refueling warriors enable every aerial combat mission to succeed by skillfully transferring tens of thousands of pounds of fuel at cruising altitudes and high speeds, extending global reach and delivering decisive air dominance for our Joint Force. Combat aviators in every service understand the critical role of our air refueling crews and boom operators. Immense respect for these valiant Airmen. Our thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condolences to their Families, Wingmen and the entire tanker community.
