The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief for federal missions . Adjutant General of Georgia has served as Major General Thomas M. Carden Jr. since 2019.

The Georgia National Guard traces its roots back to the Province of Georgia militia associations of 1751.

Separate from this are the State Guard , the Georgia State Defense Force and the Georgia Naval Militia (currently inactive), which are solely committed to the state. The Georgia National Guard consists of the two branches of the Army and Air Force , namely the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard .
