The '''Mobilization Augmentation Command (MAC)''' is a brigade-level command of the District of Columbia Army National Guard to serve as the focal point for National Guard and ARNG Domestic Operations by coordinating requests for assistance, resources, policy, and information from the states and territories and federal authorities relative to Guard matters, managing the NGB's Common Operating picture for internal and external use and by acting as the Bureau's primary communication node.

==== Current mission ====

The current mission of the MAC is to provide trained personnel for the Department of the Army Operations Center (AOC), Alternate Army Operations Center (AAOC), the National Guard Coordination Center (NGCC), ARNG Domestic Operation Center, National Guard Bureau - Legislative Liaison (NGB-LL) and other Operations Centers in support of routine, national crisis or wartime requirements. Special events such as the State of the Union Address and the Inaugural are also supported. As required, provide staff capability packages to augment State JTF for Domestic Support to Civil Authorities.

==== History ====

Founded in 1997, the Mobilization Augmentation Detachment of the DC National Guard primary mission was to support the National Guard Bureau Operations Staff and Emergency Operations Center in Arlington, Virginia. On 27 September 2001, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America, the unit was the first Army Reserve component mobilized to support the Global War on Terrorism. Our outstanding performance and commitment prompted the decision to expand the unit into a Command, with a larger role, and opportunities for over 100 Officers and NCOs. The MAC is heavily involved in operations throughout the National Capital Region.
