Illinois National Guard Recruitment

About Us

Assist people through the enlistment process to join the National Guard. Also looking for businesses interested in hiring dependable well trained employees in a variety of fields.

MIND, BODY AND GRIT
Physical and mental toughness are just the basic requirements. This is about commitment. A commitment to yourself. A commitment to those around you. A commitment to make a difference, help those in need and be a keeper of the American dream.

It takes drive—the kind that doesn’t fade when impossible obstacles stare you in the face. It takes mitigation, teamwork and the will to achieve something bigger. If you’re looking for something more, the Guard is looking for you.

Be between the ages of 17 and 35
Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
Be at least a junior in high school, or have a high school diploma or a GED certificate
