  • Ohio Air National Guard Base on Short List for New Cyber Mission
    Nov. 21, 2020 Log# 20-30 For Immediate Release Ohio Air National Guard base on short list for new cyber mission COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Air National Guard’s 179th Airlift Wing at Mansfield-Lahm Airport in Mansfield, Ohio, is one of two sites selected as possible locations for a new mission. The U.S. Department of Defense notified Gov. Mike DeWine on Nov. 20, 2020, that the U.S. Air Force had selected Mansfield as a candidate location to host an Air National Guard Information Warfare (Cyber) Wing (IWW). “This is exciting news,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general and commander of the Ohio National Guard. “This potential new mission for the men and women of the Ohio Air National Guard would bring in-demand cybersecurity positions to the area. It would position us in the middle of the military’s cutting edge cyber capability and the fight against emerging cyber threats.” The Mansfield site is one of two being considered for the IWW, with the other being Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota. The Air Force is expected to conduct site surveys at each of the two locations. The mission is planned to begin transitioning in 2022. The 179th currently flies the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft on missions across the United States and around the world. In addition, the unit participates in disaster relief efforts and other domestic emergencies as required. There are approximately 900 members at the wing. -30- FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Stephanie Beougher, public information officer, at 614-506-3490 or [email protected].

The original of the 8 Sept., 2008 letter from LTG Campbell to then Gov. Sarah Palin would certainly be in files at the Governor’s office. I have little doubt that the 4 August, 2008 Report by MAJ Matthew Cooper was also forwarded to the governor’s office as a matter of course to justify LTG Campbell’s actions with respect to the ASDF, and to demonstrate completion of the investigation of my complaint to then Gov. Sarah Palin. Further, the 2005 Report by then LTC Robert Doehl is within the Governor’s purvey to produce as Commander-in-Chief, ASDF and as the Governor. I did not make the FOIA request at issue to DMVA. Again, at least two of the documents are undoubtedly in files from the previous administration at the Governor’s offices. Therefore, the Governor’s offices have an obligation to produce what they have. If it is the intent of the Governor to refuse production, please provide a letter stating such.

  • Use of National Guard Troops for Federal Requests on Federal Land
    3833 South Development Avenue; Boise, ID 83705 NMAC Correspondence 2019-05 April 30, 2019 To: State Foresters, State Adjutant Generals for the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana From: National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group (NMAC) Subject: Use of National Guard Troops for Federal Requests on Federal Land Active Component and National Guard Ground Forces are considered surge capacity and will only be requested when all civilian firefighting crews are committed. In 2018, all Federal requests for military ground forces on federal land were offered to the National Guard through the appropriate lead state agency of the affected state before consideration of Title 10 Department of Defense (DoD) Forces. This model worked very well and contributes to increased efficiencies in mobilization and effective use of resources. For 2019 NMAC will continue to focus specifically on the four (4) states that have historically required surge capacity from military ground forces; California, Oregon, Washington, Montana. While this business model worked well last year, we recognized the criticality of timely communication and confirmation of either affirmative or negative response to the request. NIFC will require an answer to this request within 72 hours. Upon a negative response, or if there is no response within 72 hours, NIFC will then initiate a request for Title 10 forces through the Defense Coordinating Officer. Critical to the request for forces is maintaining and providing status of crew readiness and training to NIFC. NIFC will provide just in time training for Title 10 forces as well as train National Guard forces employed for ground operations unless the State has agreed to train the National Guard forces.
