The National Guard Association of South Carolina (NGASC) was founded as a non-profit organization in 1947 by officer personnel of the South Carolina Army and Air National Guard. It became the combined association it is today (officer and enlisted) in 1972. Although you may not be a member yet, did you know that you already enjoy many of the benefits of its efforts on your behalf? Perhaps the best way to understand this is to know the aims and purposes of the Association:

To promote and support State and National security;

To foster and improve the Army and Air National Guard of the State of South Carolina and the National Guard of the United States as a component of the armed forces of the United States;

To educate the public concerning national security, national defense and the military forces of the United States;

To encourage and solicit membership in the National Guard Association of the United States for officer personnel and in the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States for enlisted personnel;

To promote open communication, consensus building, close association, mutually rewarding relationships, professionalism, compassion, understanding and cooperation between all members of the association;

To constantly look toward the future to find ways and benefits to enhance the quality of life for all association members;

To establish and maintain a life insurance program for members of the South Carolina Army and Air National Guard, proceeds of which are used to fund The National Guard Association scholarship awards through the NGASC Scholarship Foundation, Inc., and other activities and awards.
