North Carolina Army National Guard The North Carolina Army National Guard is a component of the United States Army , the United States National Guard , and the North Carolina National Guard . Nationwide , the Army National Guard comprises approximately one half of the US Army ' s available combat forces and approximately one third of its support organization . National coordination of various state National Guard units are maintained through the National Guard Bureau . North Carolina Army National Guard units are trained and equipped as part of the United States Army . The same ranks and insignia are used ( see enlisted insignia or officer insignia ) and National Guardsmen are eligible to receive all United States military awards . The North Carolina Guard also bestows a number of state awards for local services rendered in or to the state of North Carolina . The North Carolina Army National Guard is composed of approximately 10 , 000 soldiers , and maintains 93 Army National Guard Armories in the state . Duties . National Guard units can be mobilized at any time by presidential order to supplement regular armed forces , and upon declaration of a state of emergency by the governor of the state in which they serve . Unlike Army Reserve members , National Guard members cannot be mobilized individually ( except through voluntary transfers and temporary duty assignments ( TDY ) ) , but only as part of their respective unit s . However , there has been a significant amount of individual activations to support military operations ( 2001 - ? ) ; the legality of this policy is a major issue within the National Guard . Active duty callups . For much of the final decades of the twentieth century , National Guard personnel typically served " One weekend a month , two weeks a year " , with a portion working for the Guard in a full - time capacity . The current forces formation plans of the US Army call for the typical National Guard unit ( or National Guardsman ) to serve one year of active duty for every three years of service . More specifically , current Department of Defense policy is that no Guardsman will be involuntarily activated for a total of more than 24 months ( cumulative ) in one six year enlistment period . History . The North Carolina Army National Guard traces its origins to the colonial militia in 1636 . The Militia Act of 1903 organized the various state militia s into the present National Guard system . The 252nd Armor Regiment was originally constituted on 20 March 1959 as the 196th Armor for the North Carolina Army National Guard as a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System and assigned to the 30th Infantry Division . The North Carolina Army National Guard is home to the 30th HBCT , the first National Guard maneuver brigade to deploy as a full brigade since World War II . References . 113th BN Headquarters

FILAT FILAT ( Forward - looking Infrared and Laser Attack Targeting ) pod is an airborne attack pod designed to provide aircraft with all weather / night attack capabilities . It was first revealed to the public at 1998 Zhuhai Air Show , and it is designed by the 613 Institute of AVIC . FILAT pod is the Chinese equivalent of the AN / AAQ - 14 targeting pod of the LANTIRN system , and several derivatives have already been developed since its public debut . The Chinese government has acknowledged that FILAT pod is based on the experience of the following three western targeting pods : LANTIRN , TIALD and LITENING targeting pod s . Although the Chinese government has not mentioned how LANTIRN and TIALD systems had fallen into the Chinese hands , western sources have reported that China had obtained the systems from downed allied aircraft via Iraq during the Gulf War . The structure of FILAT pod is similar to most targeting pods , consisting laser designator , FLIR , and CCD . Just like the AN / AAQ - 20 Sharpshooter targeting pod , a simplified AN / AAQ - 14 developed as a cheaper alternative , a similar cheaper alternative for FILAT has also been developed , but the designation is unknown and despite active marketing efforts , no sales have been reported . Some domestic Chinese sources have claimed that it is possible that this simplified version was developed as a backup should the more ambitious and technically challenging FILAT had failed , but such claims have yet to be verified . Features of the 1st generation FILAT pod include : On September 21 , 2005 , the 613 Institute of AVIC debuted the 2nd generation FILAT pod that has already been in Chinese service during Beijing International Air Show . The 2nd generation FILAT utilizes a new focal array and increased its air - to - air capability . However , the developer admitted that the MTBF rate is still much lower than the 662 hours of Lockheed Martin Sniper XR and the operation life is also much lower than the 10 , 000 hours of Lockheed Martin Sniper XR , though the actual numbers were not given . At the 6th Zhuhai Airshow in 2006 , the 3rd generation of FILAT was debuted and for security reasons , very little information was released except that newer microelectronics have been used to improve reliability and other performance parameters .
