It was my honor to return to the National War College today and share how the National Guard support the National Defense Strategy as the combat reserve of the Army and the Air Force.We discussed how the National Guard support the warfight as well the awesome partnership we've formed with countries around the world over the past 30 years. The lessons these students learn while at the Naval War College are pivotal to our nation's defense!
