The Arkansas National Guard ceremonially enlisted 250 recruits April 11, 2026, at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, in Little Rock, to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. The 250 recruits are representative of the nearly 1,300 Guardsmen recruited annually by the Arkansas Army National Guard and Arkansas Air National Guard into their respective brigades and wings. Throughout its history, the Arkansas National Guard has answered the call in times of war, natural disasters and other domestic emergencies. Its legacy reflects the service of Arkansas residents who have balanced civilian lives with military duty, exemplifying the Citizen-Soldier ethos that has defined the nation since its founding.
