History of NGAM
Established in 1981, the National Guard Association of Maryland (NGAM) was formed with the purpose of representing the interests of the Maryland National Guard, Army, and Air. NGAM was founded by a group of officers who recognized the absence of a representative organization for Maryland. Through its efforts, the Maryland National Guard Association of Maryland has made a significant difference in the lives of those who sacrifice to protect our freedoms.
