What New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs does

The New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs (DMNA) is a New York State government agency, founded in 1786 and headquartered in Latham, New York, that commands the state's military forces under the authority of the Governor of New York. The organization oversees the New York Army National Guard, New York Air National Guard, New York Naval Militia, and New York Guard, with a combined force of approximately 15,000+ personnel organized into 6 Army brigades (including the 42nd Infantry Division, 27th Brigade Combat Team, and 369th Sustainment Brigade) and 7 Air National Guard wings/sectors (including the 105th Airlift Wing, 106th Rescue Wing, 107th Attack Wing, and Eastern Air Defense Sector). DMNA provides dual-mission military capabilities: federal military readiness for U.S. Department of Defense deployments and state-level emergency response, counterterrorism security (via Joint Task Force Empire Shield), corrections support (via Joint Task Force DOCCS, activated February 2025), cyber support to state agencies (DHSES Critical Infrastructure Unit), and citizen preparedness training.

DMNA's core technology consists of web-based public services built on NY.gov infrastructure using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript (ES12), Google Translate for multilingual support, and PureEdge Viewer for electronic forms. Key internal platforms include the NYNG GKO Portal (secure DoD GatewayKO integration), State Active Duty Job Application System, DMNA WebEOC (web-based emergency operations center), and GFEBS Online User Role Request (Army financial management system). The organization does not offer commercial technology products; all services are military and government services for state agencies and residents. DMNA's business model is government appropriations-based: it receives funding through New York State budget allocations and federal Department of Defense appropriations for National Guard operations, with no commercial revenue streams. Marketing and outreach channels include official social media (YouTube, X/Twitter, Facebook, Flickr), DVIDS military media distribution, Guard Times Magazine, community events, and direct recruitment through Army and Air National Guard recruiter networks. Major strategic partnerships include the American Red Cross (Citizen Preparedness Corps), PowerBank (20 MW solar/BESS energy infrastructure), and operational coordination with the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, DHSES, DOCCS, and the National Guard Bureau.
