The National Guard Reaction Force’s (NGRF) are a trained and ready force able to provide Governors or combatant commanders with quick reaction and rapid response capabilities in each state or territory. The NGRF's are capable of responding and assisting in the protection of critical infrastructure, other state or national assets, and any other missions as directed to promote stability and security in the state, territory, and nation. Formed from current units and personnel resources, the NGRF's are designed to be rapidly deployable battalion-sized “all-hazards” temporary task forces. They are capable of supporting law enforcement by providing site security, presence patrols, show of force, establish roadblocks and/or checkpoints, control civil disturbances, provide force protection and security for Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team (WMD- CST) or Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosives (CBRNE) enhanced response force package (CERFP) operations. The NGRF is an extremely flexible force capable of providing an initial operating force during the first critical hours following an incident. With the exception of nonlethal capability sets, NGRF capabilities are supported by current unit equipment.
