The Virginia Department of Military Affairs State Team provides professional and responsive state support functions to the Adjutant General of Virginia, the National Guard, and the Virginia Defense Force in order to ensure their ability to support and defend the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia. We provide support to the Virginia Army and Air National Guard in a diverse range of support functions. Whether we are providing purchasing or State Active Duty support to National Guard Civil Support missions, building new facilities, maintaining current facilities, operating range and training sites, providing human resource and payroll support, managing real property resources, helping give teens a better chance for success at ChalleNGe, teaching STEM to 5th graders at our STARBASE program, or the many other support functions which the State DMA Team is involved in, we need to remember that what we do matters and supports our communities, our citizens, and especially our great Guard Soldiers and Airmen!
