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. -

The State Watchdog “Safeguarding integrity in state government” The Office of the Ohio Inspector General is authorized by state law to investigate alleged wrongful acts or omissions committed by state officers or state employees involved in the management and operation of state agencies. We at the Inspector General’s Office recognize that the majority of state employees and public officials are hardworking, honest, and trustworthy individuals. However, we also believe that the responsibilities of this Office are critical in ensuring that state government and those doing or seeking to do business with the State of Ohio act with the highest of standards. It is the commitment of the Inspector General’s Office to fulfill its mission of safeguarding integrity in state government. We strive to restore trust in government by conducting impartial investigations in matters referred for investigation and offering objective conclusions based upon those investigations. Statutory authority for conducting such investigations is defined in Ohio Revised Code §121.41 through 121.50. A Report of Investigation is issued based on the findings of the Office, and copies are delivered to the Governor of Ohio and the director of the agency subject to the investigation. At the discretion of the Inspector General, copies of the report may also be forwarded to law enforcement agencies or other state agencies responsible for investigating, auditing, reviewing, or evaluating the management and operation of state agencies. -
