CAMP JOSEPH T. ROBINSON, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Brig. Gen. Chad Bridges, Arkansas' adjutant general, spoke about military service and what it means to serve the state and nation at an enlistment ceremony April 11, 2026, to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. The 250 recruits are representative of the nearly 1,300 Guardsmen the Arkansas Army National Guard and Arkansas Air National Guard recruit annually into their respective brigades and wings. Throughout its history, the Arkansas National Guard has answered the call in times of war, natural disasters, and other domestic emergencies. Its legacy reflects the service of Arkansans who have balanced civilian lives with military duty, exemplifying the citizen-soldier ethos that has defined the nation since its founding.
