History

The California National Guard Enlisted Trainers Excellence Ribbon honors California National Guard members who carry out noteworthy conduct in preparing or administering training or who make significant contributions to improving training outcomes.

At nearly 23,000 members, the California National Guard is the largest in the country; it is made up of the California Army National Guard and California Air National Guard. The Army component dates back to the 1849 founding of a state militia, then called the First California Guard; the Air component, based in Sacramento, traces its roots back to August of 1917 when the 115th Aero Squadron was formed to support the United States’ efforts in World War I.
