The division’s headquarters is located on Gowen Field in Boise with facilities spread throughout the state in nearly two-dozen communities. Its far-reaching presence throughout Idaho provides a critical emergency response capability in times of crisis and disaster. The Idaho Military Division’s commitment to the community is codified in our adjutant general’s three strategic imperatives: to maintain combat readiness to fight and win our nation’s wars when called upon; to continue developing and strengthening our homeland security and emergency response readiness; and to continue building and fostering partnerships throughout Idaho, the nation and the world. **Our Mission:** The mission of the Idaho Military Division is to maintain combat and domestic emergency response readiness in the Idaho National Guard; and guide the state, through the Office of Emergency Management, in effectively preparing for, responding to and recovering from all hazards. The division also provides a fully accredited residential high school with the Idaho Youth ChalleNGe Academy, in order to intervene in and reclaim the lives of at-risk Idaho youth. **Our Vision:** Idaho’s premier public service organization; attracting our leading citizens, promoting a safe and secure environment for our state and nation.
