Army · United States
The California Army National Guard (CA ARNG) is one of three components of the California National Guard, a reserve of the United States Army and part of the National Guard of the United States. It is composed of 18,450 soldiers and its units are trained and equipped as part of the United States Army. Like any state's National Guard, its primary tasks include protecting citizens in times of crisis, and it may be federalized by an act of Congress or the president. It has been federalized in response to the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the June 2025 Los Angeles protests.
