Lethality is built through training, teamwork and disciplined execution.

Crew-served weapons turn individual skills into combat power, giving units the firepower to support maneuver and accomplish the mission.

Ready teams deliver results.

[Okla. National Guard @OKGuard]

Good leaders make the mission clear.

Commanders and leaders at every level must ensure Soldiers and Airmen understand the objective, their roles and what right looks like.

Good communication is a readiness requirement.

Fire prevention protects people, property and readiness.

The 137th SOW marked Fire Prevention Week last week with safety outreach across the Will Rogers community, promoting fire prevention and safe charging practices.

Counseling. Coaching. Mentoring.

Three tools. One purpose: developing Soldiers.

NCOs use each to improve performance, build skills and invest in the potential of the next generation of leaders.

The National Guard has a dual mission.

Defend the nation. Support the state.

The mission may change. The standard does not.

One force. Two missions. #OKGuard

The battlefield is changing. #OKGuard Citizen-Soldiers are changing with it.

Keeping aircraft in the fight takes more than pilots and maintainers.

#OKGuard Citizen-Soldiers with Co. A, 777th ASB, train to establish and operate forward arming and refueling points that keep aircraft ready to return to the mission.
