Summer is a wonderful time of celebration, recreation, and adventure, offering a well-deserved opportunity to take time off and recharge. This summer is especially
significant as we are coming off a period of intensive operations and preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great Nation. By staying aware, remaining proactive, and looking out for one another, you can enjoy a fun, memorable, and safe summer with the people you love.

Gen. Thomas Carden, vice chief of the National Guard Bureau, recently visited mission-critical teams in Connecticut to witness the power of Joint Force integration.

At Cyber Yankee 2026, more than 370 participants representing 10 National Guard units, six military branches, eight State Partnership Program partner nations, & numerous government & industry partners trained together to strengthen cyber readiness and defense of critical infrastructure. The exercise showcased the importance of collaboration across military, civilian, interagency & international partners.

Gen. Carden also met with the 928th Military Working Dog Detachment, the only reserve-component military working dog unit in the U.S. military, and the Aviation Classification Repair Activity Depot, one of only four facilities in the Nation responsible for sustaining and maintaining aviation readiness across the force.

Thank you to the Soldiers, Airmen, civilians & partners who continue to strengthen the readiness, capability & lethality of the National Guard every day. #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere

Behind every ready formation are Soldiers, Airmen, families, and support teams who make service possible.

#CTARNG members recently discussed service, mental health resources, and caring for our people at every stage of military life.

Today we honor some of our most loyal teammates!
On K9 Veterans Day, we recognize the courage, dedication, and unwavering loyalty of our military working dogs and the handlers who serve beside them. Their instincts save lives, their partnership strengthens our force, and their legacy reminds us that service comes in many forms.
