The National Guard on State Active Duty, 1998 In addition to their liability for federal service, personnel of the National Guard are, of course, also available to the governments of their respective states and territories. During 1998, in addition to several thousand Guardsmen called to active duty for federal service, such as in Bosnia, the elements of the approximately 475,250 strong Army (c. 367,150) and Air National Guard (c. 108,100) were called to state active duty on 308 occasions, for a total of 374,156 man-days. Missions varied, but the majority (172 missions – 55.8 percent) were for disaster relief, with “Law Enforcement Support” a distant second (82 missions – 26.7 percent). Call ups ranged from literally hundreds of troops to as few as one or two, in cases, for example, where a bomb had to be dismantled. Missions categorized as “Other” included such activities as providing security support to major athletic events, personnel for important ceremonial functions, and so forth.
