Media Release for 50 PNGAS Guard Friendly High Schools V.Final Pennsylvania National Guard Associations Building 9-109 Biddle Hall Fort Indiantown Gap Annville, PA 17003-5002 www.PNGAS.org For Immediate Release Kelly Lewis, JD/MBA 570.510.7745 [email protected] 50 HIGH SCHOOLS ARE NOW PNGAS GUARD-FRIENDLY HIGH SCHOOLS The Pennsylvania National Guard Associations (PNGAS) is a non-profit organization whose sole mission is supporting the men, women and veterans of the National Guard, their spouses, and families (Fort Indiantown Gap - Annville, PA) – June 1, 2021 –The Pennsylvania National Guard Associations (PNGAS) is pleased to announce 50 High Schools have earned the designation, PNGAS Guard Friendly High School. The designation and standards were developed by the PNGAS Education Advisory Council to amplify high school best practices for recruiting, information-sharing, and group-formation in high schools for their support of the Pennsylvania National Guard. “More than ever, the past year has demonstrated our Guard members have unique responsibilities and challenges. These challenges create unique opportunities for our recruiters and retention strategies to maintain appropriate end strength numbers,” stated Joseph E. Dagney, M. Ed., MSgt, Retired, USAF/ANG, School Counselor, Central MontCo Technical High School, and Chairman of the PNGAS Education Action Council. “These Guard Friendly High Schools have made a deliberate effort to address these challenges by being flexible, accommodating, and supportive of Guard members, specifically our recruiters who are directly responsible for keeping all of our unit's mission-ready. It's very appreciated. The PNGAS Guard Friendly High School designation is a win- win-win!” For many years, the Education Assistance Program (“EAP”) has been the number #1 recruiting tool for the Pennsylvania National Guard. Since its inception, Pennsylvania has distributed more than $310 million through the EAP so Guard members can get college, university, and trade school degrees. The EAP provides a tuition benefit equivalent to the yearly tuition rate set by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) so that members of the Pennsylvania National Guard can attend one of 488 Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) approved schools. Presently, the EAP is an almost $32,000 tuition benefit for each Guard member. With the July 2019 enactment of the Military Family Education Program (MFEP), there is a now a non-lapsing fund providing EAP-like tuition benefits to spouses and children of members of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Like the EAP, the MFEP is an almost $32,000 tuition benefit for spouses and/or children of a Guard member who reenlists for an additional 6-year term. As state and national emergencies and global warfare become increasingly sophisticated, technology-driven, and complex; having a well-trained, and educated Guard force is more strategic and valuable than ever.

  • PLRD-83-1 Planned Realignment of Fort Indiantown Gap, PA
    I1 UNITEDSTATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 PROCUREMENT, LOQISTICS, AN0 RCAOIN~SS OIVISION B-204454 RELEASED The Honorable Allen E. Ertel House of Representatives Mll 1111 119720 Dear Mr. Ertel I Subjectr Planned Realinement of Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania (GAO/PLRD-83-l) In your November 18, 1981, letter, you asked us to continue our audit of the Army’s proposed realinement of Fort Indiantown Gap. Specifically, you wanted to know to what extent the Army’s current alternative-- the consolidation of the Fort Indiantown Gap Comptroller’s mission at Fort Drum, New York--had altered the estimated costs and savings associated with the proposed realinement. , - Aa you know, our Iast report to you on this subject IJ con- cluded that savings were possible if the Army chose either of two alternatives studied. However, our report disclosed signif icant concern within the Army’s Forces Command about the potential de- terioration of financial support to Reserve units if the Army con- rrolidated the Fort Indiantown Gap Comptroller’s mission at Fort Meade, Maryland, as previously proposed under both alternatives. As a result of this concern, the Army is now considering revisions to the two alternatives: (1) consolidating a part of the Port Indiantown Gap Corn troller’s mission--the Finance and Accounting Office-- with a s Pmilar function at Fort Drum under alternative I or (2) retaining the entire Comptroller function, ar is, at Fort Indiantown Gap under alternative II. The Army . errtimates that implementing the revised alternative I would rerult in one-time costs of $1.83 million and annual savings of $2.68 million and that the revised alternative II would re,sult in one-time savings of $1.19 million and annual savings of $2.08 million.

  • Natural Resources Profile
    BBaacckkggrroouunndd SStttuuddyy ##66 Natural Resources Profile The Natural Resources Profile is designed to identify and analyze the vast assortment of natural resources that are found within or have an influence on Lebanon County. These resources and features include the physical geography; topography; soils; geologic formations and physiographic provinces; water resources; wellhead protection; woodlands; and wildlife and their value to economic pursuits, such as agriculture and forestry, and to the county’s overall environmental quality. The purpose of the profile is to help local, regional, and state government officials and decision-makers, developers, and citizens make more informed planning decisions. Sensitive environmental resources, threats to resource existence and function, development impacts, and types of protection techniques are of specific interest, as they aid in the identification of natural resources in need of remediation, features that impose development constraints, areas to be preserved, and places that are well-suited for development. Physical Geography Lebanon County is located in the Lebanon Valley between South Mountain, which rises to an elevation of 800 to 1,000 feet, and the Blue Mountain Chain to the north, which reaches peaks of 1,300 to 1,500 feet. The Lebanon Valley is divided into several smaller valleys by lines of hills parallel to the ensconcing mountains. The valley lies on the northern edge of the Southeast Piedmont Climatological Division which also includes Dauphin, Berks, Lancaster, Chester, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Philadelphia Counties and is more or less a transition zone from the piedmont region to the East Central Mountain and Middle Susquehanna Climatic Divisions.1 Climate The climate of Lebanon County is best described as humid continental.

    TAG Update Spring 2009 COMMAND INFORMATION FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS From The Adjutant General The Pennsylvania National Guard is once again the most deployed Guard in the nation. Today, approximately 6,000 of our Soldiers and Airmen serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Air Guard is in more than 10 countries. While there are many reasons for our success, one of the unsung heroes is the Pennsylvania National Guard AssociationS.

For 2009, these include maintaining the A-10 flying mission and end strength at Willow Grove and building a new combined support maintenance facility in Pittsburgh. Equipment priorities include new HMMWVs, helicopters and airborne broadcast equipment for the 193rd Special Operations Wing. The bottom line is the Associations are one of the most important tools in our toolbox and they need your support. If you are a member, I thank you.

  • Fort Indiantown Gap Macrosite
    Fort Indiantown Gap Macrosite This site is a valley located between Blue Mountain and Second Mountain on both sides of the Dauphin/Lebanon county line. Historically, parts of the valley were kept open by wildfires and other disturbance. In recent times, the valley has been used as a military reservation. Bombing and other exercises by the military have maintained an unusual, prairie-like habitat in parts of the valley. Currently the Fort is a mosaic of second-growth mixed oak and conifer forests, woodlands, open areas dominated by little bluestem and other grasses, goldenrods, milkweeds, asters, and blueberries. Surveys in 1999 revealed a population of the state-threatened American holly (Ilex opaca) located in St. Pauls Cemetery Woods. This species is found in mixed-hardwood habitat and appears healthy despite evidence of repeated deer browse. Also located in 1999 in the Lebanon County portion of the site was a small population of the forked chickweed (Paronychia fastigiata var. nuttallii) surviving in an area of frequent disturbance from military operations. This site includes the Manada Creek Woods, an upland forest growing on a well-drained soil on the east side of Manada Creek. Another population of the state-threatened American holly (Ilex opaca) occurs at this portion of the site. Associated tree and shrub species are red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), red maple (Acer rubrum), black-gum (Nyssa sylvatica), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), serviceberry (Amelanchier sp.), highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), and mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia). Evidence of the state-threatened Allegheny woodrat (Neotoma magister) was found in this area during surveys in 1999 and was confirmed again more recently in 2002.

  • PLRD-82-11 Planned Realignment of Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania
    UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE I I6743 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 ~ROCURLMCNT, L00lSTICS. AND RCADINU8 DIvWON B-204454 The Honorable Allen E. Ertel House of Representatives RELEASED I Ill Dear Mr. Ertel: 116760 Subject: Planned Realinement of Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania (PLRD-82-11) In your December 15, 1980, letter, you asked us to review the Army's current proposal to realine Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. You expressed concerns about differences between the Army's initial and current studies supporting the realinement decision and our August 23, 1979, report which questioned the Army's use of the initial study as a basis for the realinement decision. The Army's current study compares two realinement alterna- tives with Fort Indiantown Gap as it is now operating. Alter- native I, the Army's preferred option, proposes terminating active Army operation of Fort Indiantown Gap, transferring instal- lation control to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and assigning to Fort fleade, Maryland, the mission of providing logistical and administrative support to Reserve units in the geographical area. Alternative II proposes reducing Fort Indiantown Gap to a subordi- nate installation of Fort Meade and transferring most Reserve unit support to Fort tieade. The Army estimates that implementing alternative I would result in one-time costs of $1.3 million and annual savings of $3.3 million and that implementing alternative II would result in one-time savings of $1.2 million and annual savings of $2.7 million. Despite miscellaneous errors, omissions, and questionable procedures in the Army's current study, we believe that savings are possible if the Army chooses either of the two proposed alternatives.
