The Virginia National Guard Association actively supports legislative issues in Richmond and in Washington, D.C. A national resolution is a legislative idea that an individual or corporate member would like for the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) to work on with the U.S. Congress.
As a member based organization, NGAUS annually solicits proposed resolutions from its membership aimed at enhancing the National Guard, its equipment, and the quality of life of its soldiers and airmen and their families.
National resolutions are categorized as Joint, Army, or Air. Army and Air resolutions relate to missions or equipment under the purview of the Army and Air National Guard. Joint resolutions relate to issues involving personnel and benefits, medical and domestic operations. The standing resolutions adopted at the most recent NGAUS Conference are shown at the NGAUS website.
Association members are invited and encouraged to consider issues within the National Guard that need to be addressed. It is possible for an issue or idea conceived by one member within the state to subsequently become national policy or law. The vast majority of resolutions normally submitted relate specifically to modernization of equipment or personnel issues; however, the process is not limited to those subjects.
If you have an idea for a resolution, please submit that in the form of a draft resolution to the VNGA.
