The Puerto Rico National Guard (PRNG)—Spanish: Guardia Nacional de Puerto Rico—is the national guard of Puerto Rico. Its mission is to provide soldiers and airmen to the United States Army and U.S. Air Force in national emergencies or when requested by the President of the United States, and to perform military operations at the state level or any other lawful service as requested by the governor of Puerto Rico. The PRNG responds to the Governor of Puerto Rico, who serves as its Commander in Chief and imparts orders with the Adjutant General acting as conduit, and its local mission is to respond as requested in military or civilian tasks. Abroad, its main function is to train a reserve capable of providing additional personnel in a war scenario.
