The Center for the Study
of the National Guard

The Center for the Study of the National Guard is located at The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In recognition of the informational gap regarding the Guard’s history, CSNG aims to create and apply knowledge in the facilitation of research and scholarship on the National Guard.

The Armed Forces Benefit Association (AFBA) is proud to be a founding partner of The Center for the Study of the National Guard (CSNG). This partnership underscores AFBA’s unwavering commitment to supporting the National Guard community.
