Mission

The Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) provides fully capable land, air, and naval military forces and facilities executing global missions across unified air and land operations in support of our communities, State and Nation.

Organization and Staffing

The Division operates under the direction of The Adjutant General (TAG), who is appointed by the Governor. The Division consists of the New York Army National Guard, the New York Air National Guard, the Naval Militia, and the New York Guard, all of which are overseen by State Headquarters in Latham, New York. The Division operates and maintains a large capital portfolio, which includes 40 Armories/Readiness Centers, the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center, three Combined Support Maintenance Shops (CSMS), 15 Field Maintenance Shops, three Army Aviation Support Facilities (AASF), and one Maneuver Area Training Equipment Site (MATES). Additionally, the Division manages the operation of five Air National Guard bases.

Budget Highlights

The FY 2024 Executive Budget recommends $331.1 million in support for DMNA, an increase of $113.9 million from FY 2023, primarily due to a $100 million increase in state and federal capital appropriations to support a new multi-year renovation and rehabilitation project at the Lexington Avenue Armory. The FY 2024 Executive Budget also recommends $4 million in support for World Trade Center death and disability payments for qualifying servicemembers.

The FY 2024 Executive Budget recommends a workforce level of 394 FTEs, including two additional staff to assist with the distribution of commemorative war medals.

Program Highlights

Army and Air National Guard

Existing State and Federal statutes place a dual responsibility on the Army and Air National Guard. In a national emergency, the federally recognized units of the State's military forces provide a trained reserve force to supplement the regular military forces. The New York National Guard is available, on the order of the Governor, to provide assistance in the event of a disaster, disturbance, or other emergencies.

Citizen Preparedness Training Program

Since FY 2014, the Division, in coordination with the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, has provided citizens with disaster preparedness training throughout the State. To date, approximately 345,000 citizens have been trained. Similar to last year, the Executive Budget provides $1 million in appropriation within the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services' budget for this program.

Military Readiness Program

The Division is responsible for the maintenance and operation of Federal- and State-owned National Guard training and support facilities throughout the State.
