Auxiliary
Side by side, we stand with pride.
The Auxiliary is the family side of this association. Spouses, parents, and family members of enlisted Guardsmen who stand behind the force.
The Auxiliary began in 1973, when a group of spouses met to discuss forming a national organization alongside EANGUS. It was chartered the following year with eleven state auxiliaries. Today it spans forty states and two territories.
What the Auxiliary does
