About the Militia Ball

It is believed that the practice of a militia ball or dining-in began many years ago in England. The origin was probably not a military function but instead a custom practiced in monasteries and early universities. With the advent of the officers' mess, the British military establishment adopted the custom. The close association and camaraderie between British and American military forces during World Wars I and II led to the United States Army's adoption of the militia ball or dining-in as an integral part of the regimental mess.

This year the Washington National Guard will celebrate its 42nd Annual Militia Ball.
