The program is a twelve month paid fellowship located at the NGAUS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Each NGAUS Fellow is encouraged and expected to return to their home state with skills and professional knowledge that will promote leadership and encourage other National Guard junior officers to become advocates for the National Guard through engagement in governmental affairs at the local, state and federal level.
