PHOENIX – More than 1,000 National Guard members from around the country assembled Sunday through today at the Phoenix Convention Center for the 43rd Annual National Conference and Expo of the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States, or EANGUS.
The association represents the interests of enlisted National Guard members to the Pentagon and Congress by advocating for legislation to increase or preserve manpower, pay, benefits, entitlements, equipment and facilities.
The national conference, hosted in a different state each year, brought delegates to Arizona from all 50 states as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia to set a course for the next year and beyond.
