The South Carolina State Guard has safeguarded the state since 1670, starting with the Charleston Militia, protecting against pirates, invaders, and Native American raids. In 1775, the First Provincial Congress in Charleston formed a Committee of Safety to oversee the province’s military, urging all inhabitants to train in arms and swiftly organizing militia units across the colony.

During the American Revolution, leaders like Francis Marion, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens led engagements against the British. The SC Militia played key roles in taking Florida from Spain in the early 1800s and contributed to conflicts like the War of 1812 and the Mexican War.

Since 2015, the State Guard has contributed over 44,000 hours of service to South Carolina, aiding in recovery efforts post-Hurricanes Joaquin, Harvey, and Matthew.
