Missouri National Guard
The Missouri National Guard (MONG), commonly known as the Missouri Guard, is a component of the Army National Guard and Missouri State Department of the National Guard. It is composed of Army and Air National Guard units. The department office is located in Jefferson City.
The Mission of the Missouri National Guard is "to provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise required by state law under the authority of the governor."
One of its first "official" engagements was during the Mexican-American War, where Missouri volunteers fought at the Battles of Embudo Pass and Taos and participated in the occupation of Chihuahua City.
The Missouri National Guard though, officially traces its lineage to the Missouri State Militia, created in 1861 to counter Confederate guerrillas during the American Civil War. Missouri units fought for both Union and Confederate causes. The Confederate 1st Missouri Infantry Regiment, later part of the 138th Infantry Regiment lineage, fought at Shiloh, Corinth, Iuka, Champion Hill, the Siege of Vicksburg, the Atlanta campaign, Franklin, and Nashville, among other engagements across the Western Theater.
The Missouri Army National Guard was formally organized in 1877. It was first mobilized in the Spanish–American War (1898), raising six volunteer infantry regiments, though none deployed overseas.
In 1916, Missouri Guardsmen were sent to the U.S.–Mexico border at Laredo, Texas during the Mexican Punitive Expedition.
During World War I, Missouri units of the 35th Infantry Division fought in the Lorraine and Alsace sectors and in the Meuse–Argonne Offensive, including the Battles of Cheppy, Vauquois, and Charpentry.
In World War II, the Guard trained in the Louisiana Maneuvers before deploying to both the Pacific and European theaters. In the Pacific, Missouri units served in the Aleutian Islands campaign, mainly the 138th Infantry Regiment while other units fought at Leyte and Okinawa, mainly the 110th Engineer Regiment. After the war's end, the unit was sent to perform occupation duty in Seoul, Korea. In Europe, the 35th Infantry Division fought in the Invasion of Normandy and the Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, and Central Europe campaigns.
