How Can We Help You Today?

Mission Statement

New Hampshire's Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services (DMAVS) has a dual mission: to oversee and support the Service Members of the New Hampshire National Guard (NHNG) and to provide quality services to our state’s veterans and their families. We fulfill our dual mission by:

 •    Supporting the NHNG so they can provide trained and ready forces for worldwide combat and combat support operations, providing global reach and the projection of U.S. military power in support of national objectives; and, at the command of the governor, providing trained personnel to support state and local authorities in times of natural disaster or civil strife.

 

 •    Providing advocacy, facilitating access and navigation to resources and assistance, and promoting the welfare of New Hampshire’s Veterans and their families, and to provide a dignified final resting place for those eligible veterans and their family members
 

History of DMAVS

The Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services was legislated by Senate Bill 208 which passed into law in July 2019 and became effective in September 2019.  This bill consolidated military and veterans services previously provided in other state departments into one Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services.
