For much of the military history of the United States, African Americans were discouraged from joining the military or relegated to segregated units. The Arkansas Militia/ National Guard was no different. In 1948, President Truman officially desegregated the Armed Forces, but it took several years before the process was complete. In 1964, the Arkansas National Guard allowed its first African American to enlist. Gradually, more African Americans joined the Arkansas Army and Air Guard. However, African Americans in the Arkansas Guard faced many obstacles. Discrimination was rampant and slowed their advancement in the organization. This book investigates the issues of discrimination experienced by the African American pioneers in the Arkansas National Guard. In addition, a large portion of this book is dedicated to the first African Americans to achieve ranks, command, and other achievements in the Arkansas National Guard.

Arkansas has always been among the leading states whose people stepped up to defend the nation in times of war. On a few thousand acres of land across the Arkansas River from the capital city of Little Rock, this dedication is evident. Images of America: Camp Robinson and the Military on the North Shore traces the area's military history from the founding of Fort Logan H. Roots in the late 1800s through the training for World War I and World War II, when as many as 50,000 men and women were stationed at Camp Robinson at any one time. This book pays tribute to the Arkansas National Guard, which is still based at Camp Robinson and has served countless times in times of war and natural disasters. Illustrated with rare photographs spanning more than a century, Camp Robinson and the Military on the North Shore commemorates one of the proudest military training grounds in the nation's history.

During much of the 250 years that the United States has been a country, women were not allowed to join the military. This changed at the beginning of the 20th century when the Nurse Corp was created in the U.S. Army. Still, women were limited in what they could do in the Army. During WWII, around 350,000 women served, which included the Women's Army Corp (WAC). World War II was also when the Army recruited the first female pilots, with the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), although they did not fly in combat. The 350,000 service women also included those accepted for Volunteer Military Services (WAVES). In 1948, President Truman signed the Women's Armed Service Integration Act. With this Act, women in the U.S. military became permanent in most branches. Since that time, women's roles in the military have increased. But that does not mean there is still not discrimination. In the Arkansas National Guard, women could not join until the 1960s, and it was not until the 1970s that their numbers began to increase. During the last three decades, the Arkansas National Guard commissioned its first female Major General and Command Sergeant Major, to include women with combat military occupational specialties (MOS) and more women have been promoted to command positions. But many women paved the way for these more recent accomplishments. This book covers the women Trailblazers in the Arkansas National Guard who dedicated their careers to the organization and continue to do so.
