About

The mission of the North Carolina State Defense Force is to provide an organized, trained, disciplined, rapid response volunteer team (CERT) to assist citizens, state and local government agencies or civil relief organizations during emergencies or natural disasters and to ensure the welfare, freedom and safety of North Carolina citizens serving in support and defense of the United States and North Carolina State Constitutions.

The North Carolina State Defense Force (NCSDF) is a pro-government, pro-law enforcement, non-partisan association who values community safety, and believe every member of our communities throughout the state of North Carolina has a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness without fear of violence, anarchy, threats or intimidation.

We value readiness and preparation and encourage every member to become actively involved in furthering their knowledge, skills and certifications. FEMA training and certifications, CPR and basic life support, communications, disaster preparedness, threat awareness, public safety, cyber safety and many like this are just a few examples of the type of education and training the North Carolina State Defense Force helps facilitate for its members.
