WINGA, formed in 1951, supports Wisconsin National Guard officers, promoting relevance and modernization. NGAUS membership benefits include access to conferences, life insurance policies, professional development programs, and more. The aim is to foster public understanding of the armed forces and support service members. NGAUS membership offers exclusive opportunities, such as committee participation, advocacy, and mental health care. Both organizations aim to enhance the quality of life for current and former National Guard members while promoting fellowship and coordination within the community.
