Serving the community goes beyond the mission. Tennessee Guardsmen assigned to the Memphis Safe Task Force are making a difference through their service, and through their commitment to the people they serve.

Meet Sgt. Christian Graves, a member of the Unit Ministry Team, and learn how he makes a difference every day.

Beginning in June 2022, the Tennessee National Guard State Partnership Program team has been helping to modernize the Bulgarian Armed Forces’ talent management practices. Through sustained engagement, technical expertise, and mentorship, the Tennessee team helped the BAF to significantly reduce attrition and boost the pipeline of qualified military recruits.

To honor this success, the Bulgarian Minister of Defense presented the Tennessee team with multiple awards. In turn, the Tennessee National Guard presented the Bulgarian Deputy Minister, Colonel Nevena Miteva (Deputy Director of Social Policy), and several Bulgarian teammates with plaques and gifts. This exchange demonstrates the deep trust, shared dedication, and enduring strength developed between the two nations through the National Guard State Partnership Program.

Last night, members of the Tennessee National Guard were on hand for a screening of "Where We Once Stood," a new documentary following 10 brave service members who returned to Vietnam more than 50 years after they fought in the Vietnam War.

The screening afforded current Guardsmen the opportunity to meet and interact with Vietnam veterans, where they discussed how different, and sometimes how similar, serving is now, compared to 50 years ago.

Recently, the Tennessee National Guard turned Germantown High School’s gymnasium into Disasterville, a mixed-reality experience that shows students how National Guardsmen and women respond to natural disasters and emergencies through hands-on simulations.

Disasterville transforms high school gyms into three full-scale, mission-oriented disaster zones: wildfire, flood zones, and earthquakes. Students are guided firsthand through high-tech, virtual missions and work together in teams to tackle each disaster the same way as the Guard, by combining communication, physical endurance, and ingenuity to save lives, landscape, and their communities.

Learning about aviation is one thing. Getting up close to a UH-60 Black Hawk is another.

Scouts of America members made the trip out to Berry Field Air National Guard Base Sept. 19, 2026, for an Aviation Merit Badge University. Scouts learned about the principles of flight, aviation careers and aerospace technology, built and tested model aircraft, and preflighted an actual UH-60 Black Hawk with help from Col. Tucker Rojas, 118th Wing deputy commander and Chief Warrant Officer 2 John Welker, a pilot with the 1-230th Assault Helicopter Battalion.

By the end of the event, 27 Scouts earned their Aviation merit badge!🚁✈

Congratulations to Sgt. Joshua Seder for his publication of the "The Seder Knot" in the Military Review: Professional Journal of the U.S. Army! What started as a white paper during his combat engineer basic leader course about the development of a more efficient and better way to secure ropes and accomplish combat tasks, is now in the Army's premier publication.

Seder, who is currently deployed to CENTCOM and serving as a HIMARS gunner with Alpha Battery, 1st Battalion, 181st Field Artillery Regiment, has always been inspired to find better ways to help others and become more effective as a Soldier and leader. Prior to deploying, he served on the Memphis Safe Task Force with the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment and in 2023 he was the 278th's Soldier of the Year!

To read this Soldier's story about the Seder knot, please follow the link below!

Sgt. Joshua P. Seder explains the development of the Seder knot and compares its stability characteristics, tying time, and untying time with the sheet bend and figure-eight retrace.

Last week, the Tennessee National Guard celebrated the Air Force’s 79th birthday with guest speaker retired Air Force Col. Edward Hubbard at Joint Force Headquarters in Nashville. Hubbard spoke to attendees about his experience as a POW for almost seven years during the Vietnam War and why keeping a positive outlook on life is so very important. (Photos by Staff Sgt.

“I am incredibly proud of the professionalism of our Guardsmen and women serving on the Memphis Safe Task Force and the positive impact they’ve had serving our fellow Tennessee citizens in Memphis,” said Maj. Gen. Warner Ross, Tennessee’s Adjutant General. “Working alongside our partner agencies in law enforcement and emergency response has proven again how critical teamwork is and how the whole-of-government approach greatly benefits our fellow agencies, and more importantly, Tennesseans.”
