SEA GIRT, NJ - The New Jersey National Guard will hold its Annual Military Review at the National Guard Training Center at Sea Girt on Sunday September 9th. The event is FREE and open to the public. The review includes: displays of military equipment, tanks, and helicopters; flyovers by helicopters and jet fighter aircraft; a cannon salute; a military band; and a military parade featuring every National Guard unit in New Jersey. The National Guard Training Center will open at 10:00 a.m. for visitors and the parade will start at 1:15 p.m.  Plenty of on-site parking is available.

The military review is the time when the Acting Governor, as commander in chief of the New Jersey National Guard, has the opportunity to inspect and review the troops under his command.  This is a long-standing New Jersey tradition dating back to the 1870’s when the Governor would review the N.J. Militia during their summer maneuvers. Every Army and Air National Guard unit in New Jersey will be represented at the event.

The National Guard Training Center is located on Sea Girt Avenue in Sea Girt, New Jersey.  The New Jersey National Guard and Militia Museum, which is located on the base, will be open to the public on September 9th as well.
