  • 2010 Annual Report
    The Ohio Adjutant General’s Department 2010 Annual Report When called, we respond with ready units I am pleased to present the Adjutant General’s Department annual report for 2010. It contains financial information for the state’s fiscal year from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 and highlights the department’s training years, which extend through September 2010. As the tenth year of the Global War on Terrorism comes to an end, I am extremely proud of the achievements of the men and women of the Ohio National Guard who continue to answer the call to duty. The Ohio National Guard has deployed more than 17,675 Sol- diers and Airmen in support of overseas contingency missions; more than 1,200 troops deployed during the 2010 training year. In January 2010, our Springfield-based 179th Airlift Wing landed the first C-130 airplane on the ground in Haiti following a devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Three aircrews with two C-130 cargo airplanes who were conducting theater airlift support missions in Puerto Rico were immediately diverted to support relief efforts. Here at home, our troops conducted humanitarian missions during our annual GuardCare operation over two week- ends in Carrollton, Ohio, providing much-needed care to medically-underserved com- munities. We broke ground on several new state-of-the-art facilities including three on the Defense Supply Center, Columbus, campus including a Combined Support Maintenance Shop, a United States Property and Fiscal Office warehouse and a training facility for the 147th Regiment (Regional Training Institute) as well as a facility to house the expanded 200th RED HORSE detachment at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, and a shoot house at Camp Ravenna in Northeast Ohio.

  • Military Reserve Component Called to Duty in Support of Tornado Cleanup
    Aug. 21, 2019 Log# 19-20 For Immediate Release Military reserve component called to duty in support of tornado cleanup COLUMBUS, Ohio — At the request of the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a state active duty proclamation to activate select personnel from the Ohio Military Reserve to assist with cleanup efforts from the May tornado in southwestern Ohio. “Great progress has been made to recover from the tornadoes that struck our state this spring. We must continue to use all of the resources at our disposal to aid in the recovery efforts, which is why I have signed the proclamation to activate the Ohio Military Reserve to assist in Montgomery County,” said Gov. DeWine. The Ohio Military Reserve (OHMR) will provide two to three personnel for up to 18 weeks to oversee logistics as contractors remove debris in the area. “This is a perfect mission for the Ohio Military Reserve, as they train every month on logistical support to be ready at a moment’s notice when their fellow Ohioans need help,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general. The OHMR is a component of the Ohio organized militia, along with the Ohio National Guard and the Ohio Naval Militia, and serves under the adjutant general as commander of the organized militia and the governor as commander in chief. It is based in Columbus and has 220 members who may be called by the governor to aid civil authorities through providing medical and logistical support, as well as volunteer reception and management.

  • Ohio Naval Militia Supports Nra National Matches
    ADJUTANT GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT OHIO NAVAL MILITIA CAMP PERRY TRAINING SITE 1000 LAWRENCE ROAD BLDG 1, ATTN: ONM PORT CLINTON, OH 43452-9578 OHIO NAVAL MILITIA SUPPORTS NRA NATIONAL MATCHES PORT CLINTON, OH, JULY 29, 2010 : The Ohio Naval Militia (ONM), a group of sailors comprised of dedicated men and women are spending several weeks executing a key role in the safety of the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) National Matches at the Camp Perry Training Site in Port Clinton, Ohio. Throughout the NRA event, the Naval Militia will spend their days patrolling the Impact Area, keeping boaters out of the dangerous areas near the firing ranges; always on the alert and watchful for stranded boaters, or other things out of the norm. "This is what we’re trained to do." said Rear Admiral David E. Kissel. "It's rewarding getting the opportunity to put our skills to the test," he added. The ONM has a long history of military service dating back to 1898 when the United States Congress declared war against Spain. In an effort to get Spain out of Cuba, President William McKinley was authorized to use all land and naval forces, as well as militia to enforce Congressional demands. At this time, the naval forces in the State of Ohio became the Ohio Naval Militia. The ONM participated in the war, fighting as part of the 10th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The Ohio Naval Militia much like the Ohio National Guard stands ready to answer the call from the State of Ohio. The greatest difference is that the ONM members perform their duties solely on pride, duty and their love for their country.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    THE OHIO ADJUTANT GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Governor DeWine, My report to you and the citizens of Ohio looks much different today than it would have just a few short months ago. A pandemic, followed closely by protests and civil disturbances, meant your Ohio National Guard was there to support citizens across the state in their time of need. The coronavirus pandemic took the world by surprise, and required our state and nation to take unprecedented measures in order to keep the virus from spreading so much as to strain the state’s medical capacity. More than 1,000 Soldiers and Airmen served their fellow Ohioans with various missions, including collecting personal protective equipment, supporting food banks, and providing medical and operational support at state correctional facilities. When protests and riots taxed local law enforcement, the National Guard provided assistance in order to protect citizens and property, while TABLE OF CONTENTS ensuring everyone’s right to demonstrate peacefully. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Each of those events led to a joint operation of our Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and Ohio Military Reserve, the likes of which we have not seen in decades. However, the National Guard has a long history of supporting the state and nation during times of emergency. Our year- round training makes it possible for us to rapidly respond during homeland emergencies. It’s why America has a National Guard. The Ohio National Guard marked additional significant achievements in the past year. Legislation created a new cyber defense force and expanded the state’s ability to develop cybersecurity talent.

  • Ohio Naval Militia Holds Change of Command
    ADJUTANT GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT OHIO NAVAL MILITIA CAMP PERRY TRAINING SITE 1000 LAWRENCE ROAD BLDG 1, ATTN: ONM PORT CLINTON, OH 43452-9578 OHIO NAVAL MILITIA HOLDS CHANGE OF COMMAND PORT CLINTON, OH, October 24, 2010: The Ohio Naval Militia held its Change of Command ceremony at the Camp Perry Training Site, where Rear Admiral David S. Kissel, Sr., assumed command of the Ohio Naval Militia from Captain Albert F. Schmidt, Jr. (Acting), who assumed command last May upon the retirement of RDML David E. Ozvat. The Change of Command Ceremony formally recognizes the transfer of authority from one commander to another. Major General Gregory L. Wayt thanked the sailors of the ONM for their service to Ohio and in support of the federal missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Without your professionalism and dedication to your mission, our troops would lack the ability to maintain their marksmanship qualifications and utilize the firing ranges at Camp Perry with high levels of safety” said Wayt. The Change of Command Ceremony dates back to the days in which a military unit's flag marked its position in the line of battle. The colors were always near the commander, so troops knew where to rally on the battlefield. Today the transfer of the colors marks a change in the unit and gives the sailors their first opportunity to see and hear their new leader. The change of command ceremony recognizes the accomplishments of the outgoing commander and the Sailors who served under him. In addition, the ceremony identifies the new commander to the Sailors, so they can follow him on the field of battle.

  • Ohio National Guard, State Defense Force to Scale Back COVID-19 Response Force
    July 26, 2021 Log# 21-19 For Immediate Release Ohio National Guard, State Defense Force to scale back COVID-19 response force COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio National Guard and Ohio State Defense Force are transitioning from the emergency COVID-19 response that began in March 2020 to a smaller, yet flexible, response force. At the request of Gov. Mike DeWine, more than 4,000 members have deployed throughout the past 16 months for approximately 70 missions across the state to assist local, county, and state partners. Among numerous contributions, they assisted in providing more than 360,000 COVID-19 vaccinations; received, packed, and distributed more than 150 million pounds of food and groceries to over 2.9 million Ohioans; and provided temporary medical staffing to more than 30 long-term care facilities. “In the tradition of the minuteman, each Soldier and Airman who contributed to the missions while helping their fellow Ohioans did so with little or no notice. It is part of our organization’s DNA to always be ready,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general. “The COVID-19 response mission has affirmed and strengthened their commitment to support this great state and its people.” At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, about 1,000 Ohio service members were deployed to support missions. As of July 19, that number stood at about 180. Among the larger missions was support to 14 food banks, which ended on July 2. Harris has directed the joint task force overseeing COVID-19 missions to continue to scale back by July 30 to a force of about 40 personnel, who will continue providing logistics and vaccination support.

  • 2003-2005 Annual Report
    Ohio Adjutant General’s Department When called, we respond with ready units ANNUAL REPORTS 2003-2005 The Honorable Bob Taft Governor of Ohio 30th Floor 77 South High Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 Dear Governor Taft, I am pleased to present you with the Adjutant General’s Department com- bined annual report for 2003-2005. It contains financial information for the state’s fiscal years from July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2005 and highlights the department’s training years, which extend through September 2005. It has been a challenging and rewarding time for the Ohio National Guard and I am extremely proud of what we achieved over this three-year period. We continued to answer our nation’s call to duty, with more than 14,500 Guardmembers mobilized for federal missions. We activated nearly 10,000 Guardmembers in support of the Global War on Terrorism, with many vol- unteering for multiple or extended deployments. When Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast in September 2005, Ohio troops, many fresh from overseas deployments, again answered the call to duty. The Ohio National Guard had Soldiers and Airmen on site within 24 hours. In all, Task Force Buckeye deployed 2,670 servicemem- bers, and provided command and control over some of the worst hit coun- ties. Within the state, the Ohio National Guard responded with ready units to as- sist local communities in their times of need. Air and Army units responded to flooding, snow storms and power outages throughout the state and pro- vided much needed medical services during GuardCare excercises in Hock- ing, Lucas and Washington counties.
