Who We Are
The Virginia Defense Force has been in existence since the early 1600's with one real mission in hand, that was and is, to protect the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Volunteers support the Virginia National Guard through assistance for unit mobilizations, training, troop augmentation, force protection, and the preservation of lives, property and public safety in emergencies throughout the State of Virginia.
When called to state active duty, the mission of the Virginia Defense Force is to:
- Provide for an adequately trained organized reserve militia to assume control of Virginia National Guard facilities and to secure any federal and state property left in place in the event of the mobilization of the Virginia National Guard
- Assist in the mobilization of the Virginia National Guard
- Support the Virginia National Guard in providing family assistance to military dependents within the Commonwealth in the event of the mobilization of the National Guard
- Provide a military force to respond to the call of the Governor
