National Guard for National Service Act of 2026

This bill requires the head of the National Guard Bureau and the head of the Corporation for National and Community Service (which runs AmeriCorps) to jointly conduct a feasibility study within one year. The study would look at how to create a nationwide employment and training pipeline that connects National Guard and Reserve members to national service programs, including costs, expected participation, and needed changes to service terms. After the study, the two agencies must set up a pilot program. The pilot would include activities on protecting critical infrastructure, cybersecurity help for local and Tribal governments, schools, colleges, and nonprofits, disaster preparedness, and career pathways for part-time Guard and Reserve members.
