All Guardsmen now eligible for affordable Health Insurance


Starting October 1, 2007, The Department of Defense healthcare system known as TRICARE Select is now available to all members of the Delaware National Guard at only 28% of the actual cost.  Monthly costs for traditional members are as follows:

   -   $ 81 per month for a single Soldier or Airman

   -   $ 253 per month for a Soldier or Airman and their family

This was made possible through the hard work of our professional organizations such as the National Guard Association (NGAUS), Enlisted Association of the National Guard (EANGUS) and Adjutants General Association (AGAUS) working with our congressional delegation.
