Who We Are

The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of Kansas is an organization comprised of Enlisted men and women of the Army and Air National Guard and their supporters who have banded together to pursue mutual goals in support of the National Guard and the national defense. For more information view our By-Laws (pdf).

How We Began

The National organization, EANGUS, was conceived in 1970 by a group of Senior Enlisted National Guard individuals interested in expanding the role of Enlisted personnel on National Guard issues. The group met in South Dakota to consider ways to make the Guard a more influential arm of our national defense by improving the status, welfare and professionalism of the Enlisted soldier and airman. EANGKS is a charter of this National organization that today, the association represents 75,000 Enlisted Guard members in all 54 states, territories and the National Guard Bureau.

Our Purpose

EANGKS is dedicated to the principles of providing an adequate national defense and promoting the status, welfare and professionalism of the men and women of the Army and Air National Guard. The association is nonprofit and does not engage in partisan politics, nor support any candidate for political office.

Our Objectives

EANGKS pursues the goal of providing quality, motivated and professional soldiers, airmen and noncommissioned officers to the National Guard. To accomplish this, EANGKS fully supports:

Adequate full-time staffing: Technicians, Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) and M-Day drill status positions to perform assigned missions. Adequate pay and allowances for National Guard members. Adequate health, medical, family and death entitlements for National Guard members. Incentive benefits designed to attract and retain quality personnel in the National Guard. Improved entitlements for retired members of the National Guard. First line equipment and weapons systems for the National Guard. Military Construction.
