What are some available NG units in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for a 68W?

Hey y'all. I'm a 68w (combat medic) with the Maryland national guard currently, and looking to move to North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth area). Very excited to make the move, my CoC is already on board with my pending IST. Just waiting on the dust to settle with some legal stuff I'm working on back home, and then I'm good to start the process.

My question is about units in the new area. I'd like to learn more about the available units nearby if anybody has any insight there. Every time I've ever gone to a unit in my career I was always surprised by the overall vibe I came into and I love my current unit, and I'm just wondering what to look forward to here. Thanks guys!

The Texas ARNG interstate transfer office number is [login to see] . Towards the east are units of 3BN - 144INF, in Grand Prairie is Troop C, 1SQ - 124CAV, there is the 156 BEB in the area, and the 949 BSB. All of these are part of the 56 IBCT, 36ID. You've also got most of the 1BN (Abn) - 143INF in Fort Worth, which is part of the 173 ABN BDE, based in Vicenza, Italy.

If you're interested in the ANG side, the 136th Airlift Wing is in Fort Worth. The 136th Medical Group is a subordinate unit, and a 68W would likely be able to transfer into AFSC 4N0X1, Aerospace Medical Services. The 136AW recruiter number is [login to see] .

There is a NG unit in Seagoville that you can report to. When I was NG, before going back active duty, that's where I went.
