The Louisiana State Guard (LASG) supports the Louisiana National Guard (LANG) and the Louisiana Military Department (LMD) during emergencies under the orders of the Governor and Adjutant General. LASG members provide key logistical, operational, and specialized support during natural disasters or significant events.
Established in 1942, LASG began with World War II veterans and quickly grew to nearly 3,000 troops by 1943. Its focus during WWII was disaster response, not war-related missions. The unit was deactivated in 1947, re-established by the Louisiana Legislature in 1974, and revitalized in the 1980s by Major General Ansel Stroud. At that time, LASG focused on supporting LANG through management, logistics, and retired military personnel.
In 2005, LASG was mobilized for Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts. The disaster severely impacted their headquarters at Jackson Barracks, but operations continued through the 5th Area Command at Camp Minden. By 2018, LASG was officially recognized by the State Guard Association of the United States and founded the Louisiana Military Emergency Management Academy for member training in emergency response.
In 2022, LASG Regulation 10-1 was updated, reducing the number of Area Commands from five to four, aligning them with LANG’s major installations and regions, under the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP). LASG expanded to support LANG’s Joint Operations Center in Pineville, Tactical Command Post at GOHSEP, and the Louisiana Military Department. Directorates were formed to recruit personnel with vital skills, including medical, legal (JAG), chaplaincy, and cyber defense.
In 2023, LASG restructured, consolidating Area Commands, and positioning new units at Jackson Barracks, Gillis W. Long Center, and Training Center Pineville. Today, LASG remains critical in enhancing LANG’s response capabilities during emergencies.
