The National Guard Association of Rhode Island

"Officers Making a Difference"

Welcome

The National Guard Association of Rhode Island (NGARI) is an organization composed of current and retired commissioned officers and warrant officers of the Rhode Island National Guard. Since its inception, over twenty-five years ago, NGARI has devoted itself to providing a voice in the development and implementation of federal and state policy, law, and appropriations impacting on the welfare of the National Guard and its soldiers and airmen. The focus of those efforts has always been on improving the readiness of our soldiers and their units in case they were needed to accomplish any stateside missions or in the event they were mobilized to bolster our national defense.

Our Mission

To support the unique goals and missions of the National Guard and those Soldiers and Airmen who stand ready to defend our great State and Nation. NGARI, together with the National Guard Association (NGAUS), are nonpartisan organizations representing nearly 45,000 current and former Army and Air National Guard officers. Formed in 1878, NGAUS is focused on procuring better equipment, standardized training and a more combat-ready force by petitioning Congress for resources.
