Count Every Hero (2024)

Count Every Hero’s Statement of Principles on Domestic Deployment of the National Guard outlines key standards to ensure Guard deployments on U.S. soil are lawful, limited, and apolitical. Issued by retired senior military and national security leaders, the Principles emphasize mission preparedness, overall readiness, and public trust—warning against politicized uses of the Guard that undermine democratic norms, public confidence in the National Guard, and civil-military integrity.
