This series contains monthly and later bi-monthly publications of the Georgia Department of Defense, Georgia Military Division. These publications consist of a magazine format which lasted through March, 1979 and a newspaper format which began with the April, 1979 issue. When the formats changed so did the volume numbering as the April issue begins as Volume 1, Number 1. The publications deal with topics ranging from air guard camp dates and infantry men selling a legion newspaper to aid Christmas orphans to the awarding of the Distinctive Service Medal and the military police maintenance training at Fort Benning. The opinions expressed in The Georgia Guardsman are those of the staff writers of the publication and members of the Georgia National Guard and do not necessarily reflect any official views of the office of the Adjutant General of Georgia. The Georgia Archives does not have a complete set of these publications.
