The adjutant general of North Carolina, also known as the Adjutant General of the North Carolina National Guard, is the head of the North Carolina National Guard. The position was established in 1806, when the Militia Acts of 1792 required each U.S. state to establish the position to better train the militia. The adjutant general is appointed by the North Carolina governor and requires five years prior military service.
