During the past decade, our families have become accustomed to such demands as we In emergency response, we continue to lead the nation through innovation in technology, have been called upon to play a growing variety of roles in the fight against America’s operations and leveraging federal resources to support and improve responsiveness to enemies. Since 2001, CNG Soldiers have deployed overseas more than 23,400 times, and natural and man-made disasters: CNG Airmen have deployed more than 13,300 times, including multiple deployments for some individuals. • The CNG was the first in the nation to hold a large-scale Dual Status Command ex- ercise, bringing together both state and federal military responders under a common Together our efforts have served to maintain a world class professional military force that chain of command to ensure unity of effort during a major emergency in California. stands ready to meet its missions in California and wherever else it is needed.

(CA) Berquist Richard Sgt. Staff by Photo • The CNG participated in a national-level emergency response exercise, Vigilant Guard 12. This multi-state exercise saw the deployment of more than 500 National Guard troops to Arizona, demonstrating their rapid response and deployment capa- bilities in the areas of hazardous-materials response and urban search and rescue. • The CNG continued to leverage federal resources, including critical dual-use equipment, and federal funding to support our ability to respond to state emergen- cies. In the area of community support, we have expanded programs designed to provide op- portunities for young people throughout California: • The California Cadet Corps celebrated its centennial in April and now boasts an enrollment of more than 5,000 cadets statewide. A recent study of cadets in the Southern California region found that cadets outperform their non-cadet counter- parts by 23 percent on the state Fitnessgram test. Further, the governor signed Sen- ate Bill 537, legislation designed to increase the size and effectiveness of the Cadet Corps in years to come. • The Oakland Military Institute celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2011. Now in its 11th year, OMI continues to graduate college-ready leaders of character. The most recent graduating class sent 25 percent of its students to University of California schools and more than 80 percent to four-year colleges. Two OMI graduates recently were commissioned as U.S. Army lieutenants after graduating from West Point. • Grizzly Youth ChalleNGe Academy cadets completed more than 25,000 hours of community service valued at more than $200,000 to local communities. More than 90 percent of Grizzly Academy graduates were successfully placed into educational programs, full- or part-time employment or volunteer service after graduating the program. • The CNG’s STARBASE conducted 80 classes this year with a total of 2,582 students attending, making the CNG’s program the largest in the nation. • In all the CNG supported more than 200 community relations events this year, providing services and outreach across the state. In addition to these accomplishments we took decisive action to restore the trust, faith and confidence of our constituents and stakeholders: • We established internal controls as one of the CNG’s top priorities. We created the Office of Compliance and Management Controls, which provides analysis and ensures compliance with federal and state statutory and regulatory requirements affecting the CNG. • The CNG worked with federal authorities to identify and address dual-compen- A Grizzly Youth ChalleNGe Academy color guard presents the colors April 5 on Joint Forces sation issues within the Air National Guard’s 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno.

Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.
