The National Association of Guardsmen was formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1933 by 13 young African American men, most of whom were alumni of Morgan State College. The group was established in order to foster social interactions and programs for members of the community. The statement of purpose for the organization is to "Provide a regular and periodic social association and foster close relationship and fellowship among its individual members and Chapters." The Atlanta Chapter was installed in March 1957, developed from an earlier social club, "The Atlanta G-Men".
