Frustrated with the state and local response, President Dwight D. Eisenhower deployed 1,200 Army troops to Little Rock and put them in charge of the 10,000 Arkansas National Guardsmen already on duty. Under federal orders, the same National Guardsmen who blocked the integration of Central High three days earlier now escorted the Little Rock Nine safely to class on September 25, 1957.

That wasn’t the last time that presidents were forced to call in the National Guard to integrate a school. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy activated the Mississippi National Guard in order to enforce the integration of the University of Mississippi. A year later, Kennedy deployed the Alabama National Guard to integrate the University of Alabama against the wishes of Governor George Wallace.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson clashed with Governor Wallace and federalized Alabama’s National Guard troops to protect the lives of civil rights activists, including Martin Luther King Jr.
On March 7, 1965, hundreds of people gathered in Selma, Alabama to begin a three-day march to Montgomery, the state capital. The march, organized by civil rights leaders like King and John Lewis, was meant to draw attention to unjust laws that made it nearly impossible for Black people to vote in Alabama.
But as the peaceful marchers approached the Edmund Pettus Bridge outside Selma, they were brutally attacked by Alabama State Troopers wielding nightsticks, whips and tear gas. Footage of the police violence was broadcast on live television and became known as “Bloody Sunday.”
Horrified by the brutality authorized by Governor Wallace, President Johnson federalized the Alabama National Guard and sent additional U.S. Army troops to Selma.

On July 24, 1967, President Johnson federalized 8,000 Michigan National Guard troops in Detroit and authorized an additional 5,000 federal troops to quell the riots. “Pillage, looting, murder, and arson have nothing to do with civil rights,” said Johnson. “They are criminal conduct.”

The Army National Guard (ARNG) established Operation Phalanx in July 2010, based on an Executive Order from President Obama authorizing up to 1,200 Soldiers and Airmen along the 1,933-mile southwest border in support of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

Military support. The National Guard plays a crucial role in supporting U.S. military operations abroad. Since 9/11, more than one million National Guard members have been deployed to missions overseas, including in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as in countries in Europe and the Pacific. Most recently, the National Guard has helped collect and analyze intelligence related to Russia’s war in Ukraine and assisted in training members of Ukraine’s armed forces. Members of the guard have fought in nearly every U.S. conflict since the Revolutionary War, and more than twenty thousand are deployed around the world on any given day.
