199th Regiment (RTI)

The 199th Regiment (Louisiana Army National Guard Regional Training Institute) started as the Louisiana Military Academy (1960-1997) and later became the 199th Regiment (Leadership) (1997-2008).  The unit began its history of training by formalizing and conducting the Officer Candidate School program starting in July 1960.
