The National Guard celebrated its 370th Birthday on Dec 13, 2006. The National Guard traces its history back to the 1636 when the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which functioned as the colony's legislature, ordered existing militia companies from the towns surrounding Boston to form into three regiments: North, South, and East. Massachusetts was the 1st place in the New World with a large enough population to justify organizing companies into regiments. These regiments became a kind of military "family" for it's members. Although their names have changed, these 3 regiments still exist in the Massachusetts National Guard today. The National Guard is still going strong after 370 years and our military "family" is now reaching across our state lines and territorial borders. Happy Birthday National Guard!
