The National Guard Training Center (NGTC) provides individual, collective, and joint training and instruction to New Jersey Citizen Soldiers, Airmen, and law enforcement professionals.

Located in Sea Girt, New Jersey, the 168 acre installation is home to the New Jersey National Guard’s 254th Regional Training Institute, Medical Command, Recruiting and Retention Command, 154th Water Purification Company, 63rd Army Band, Youth Challenge Academy, and the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey.

Law enforcement professionals are an essential component of NGTC’s daily operations. The New Jersey State Police, Department of Corrections, Division of Criminal Justice, and the Juvenile Justice Commission conduct their respective training academies, weapons qualifications, and continuing education courses on the post year round.

NGTC offers configurable classrooms and conference spaces to provide users with experiences that are versatile and mission-specific. The installation combines a walking campus, recently renovated barracks, and multiple life support features to units conducting training.

Since 1885, NGTC has cultivated a tradition of training excellence. Each year, thousands of service members and law enforcement professionals pass through the installation’s classrooms and training areas. Amenities available on-site include free or low-cost billeting, sustainment, laundry facilities, food services, and more.
