The National Guard has a significant positive economic impact on Georgia communities. With over 80 entities around the state, the National Guard contributes over $1 billion annually to local economies through wages, construction projects, and purchases of goods and services. The addition of over 700 personnel to the Clay National Guard Center in 2011 boosted the organization's presence in Cobb County to nearly 2,000 full-time personnel and traditional Guardsmen, adding to the 2,547 already working at nearby Dobbins Air Reserve Base.

The Georgia National Guard contributes over $1 billion annually to local economies through wages and spending. With around 80 locations statewide, Guardsmen support communities through purchasing homes, food, goods and services. The opening of a new Joint Force Headquarters in 2011 brought an additional 731 Guard personnel to Cobb County, boosting the local presence to nearly 2,000 full-time and part-time Guardsmen who support the local economy. In return for community support during deployments and disasters, the Guard provides economic benefits and is an important part of the social fabric of local communities.Sass Oct 22 2010 NAST

The National Association of State Treasurers expressed concern that Milwaukee would lose a $1.2 million economic boost if the 2012 annual conference was not held there. The conference location was secured by State Treasurer Dawn Marie Sass, who is up for re-election and faces a challenger who has pledged to eliminate the office of State Treasurer. Without an office of State Treasurer, the conference would not take place in Wisconsin and Milwaukee would lose out on the significant revenue.Dynamic and growing guard

The Counterdrug Task Force bridges the gap between the Department of Defense and non-Department of Defense agencies to fight illicit drugs and transnational threats. Comprised of over 40 highly trained Georgia Guardsmen, the Task Force assists law enforcement with seizures and eradication efforts. In 2010, their efforts led to over $421 million in seizures and the eradication of 75,000 marijuana plants. They also conduct drug demand reduction programs that educate over 77,000 students annually. A 2011 performance evaluation scored the Georgia program at 98 out of 100, significantly higher than the national average of 89.Timeline

Economic impact
- 1. Economic Impact Long before the Georgia National Guard established its present footprint in Cobb County and the surrounding communities, the military active duty, Reserve and a handful or Army and Air Guard units was already making a positive impact on the local economy by buying or renting homes, eating in local restaurants, shopping in local stores, banking at local financial institutions, and seeking medical care at local health facilities. Now, with a presence of some 80 entities around the state of Georgia, National Guardsmen contribute more than one billion dollars annually to the economy of defense communities around the state. From military and civilian wages to military construction, goods and services, dollars are flowing into the local economies from the National Guard. Not only are the 15,000 men and women of the Guard enhancing the everyday lives of local citizens by protecting the homeland and supporting war efforts around the world, but they are also helping protect the economic livelihoods of millions of Georgians. One of the largest enhancements to the local economic contribution of the Georgia National Guard came at the end of 2011 when the new Joint Force Headquarters building opened at Clay National Guard Center. The Georgia Guard then moved another 731 personnel onto Clay, boosting the organizations presence in Cobb to nearly 2,000 full-time personnel and traditional Guardsmen (those who attend drill once a month). That added to the 2,547 military and civilian personnel who already work at Dobbins Air Reserve Base just across the flight line. Much is made and rightly so of the support our communities give to their local Guard units. Indeed, from homecoming parades to local initiatives by community leaders to find our Guardsmen gainful employment, community support has been outstanding. It is important too for these communities to know what kind of support they receive in return: not just a ready and relevant force for responding to natural or manmade disasters, but also a profound economic influencer. Whats more, the Guard doesnt just impact the bottom line of these communities, but Guardsmen are also an important part of the local social fabric, in keeping with the tradition of our nations minutemen.
