  • Montana Law Protects National Guard Members on State Active Duty
    MT-2015-NG (Updated May, 2015) Montana Law Protects National Guard Members On State Active Duty By Kyle Helmick1 Today’s National Guard traces its origins to 1636, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony established the Massachusetts militia to defend the colony against attacks by the Pequot Indians. Other colonies and later states established similar state militias. Like every other state legislature, the Montana Legislature has enacted a provision to protect members of the Montana Army National Guard and Air National Guard when they are on state active duty, called by the Governor of Montana for state emergencies like fires, floods, riots, etc. Montana law protects members of the National Guard from employment discrimination based on their National Guard status and gives them the right to reinstatement in their civilian jobs after voluntary or involuntary military training or service, including state active duty when called by the Governor of Montana.2 An employer is required to give an employee unpaid leave for military training or service, including state active duty. It is unlawful for an employer to charge such leave to the employee’s vacation or sick leave balance. The employee may opt out of or stay in the employer’s healthcare plan during the time that he or she is away from work for training or service. You must apply for reemployment within: ● safe travel time plus eight hours for active duty of under 30 days. ● fourteen days after termination for active duty between 30 and 180 days. ● 90 days after termination for active duty of more than 180 days.

  • In Memory of Died in the Crash of a Douglas A-26 Invader
    IN MEMORY OF DIED IN THE CRASH OF A DOUGLAS A-26 INVADER AIRCRAFT IN THE BIG BELT MOUNTAINS OF MONTANA SEPTEMBER 16, 1947 WHILE IN SERVICE OF THE by Troy Helmick . Great Falls, Montana 1940 Geographically the third largest of the 48 states, Montana had a primarily rural pop- ulation, with less than half of the people living in cities or towns. Great Falls was the second largest city in Montana, but at less than 30,000 people it was not large by national standards. As World War II loomed on the horizon, Great Falls, Montana suddenly became directly connected to events in the distant regions of the world. The expansion of Japanese forces into the Pacific, and the Aleutian Islands in particular, had many U.S. officials very concerned. Inland transportation routes by air or ground that could be used to move people and supplies from the United States to Alaska did not exist. The need for an airway across the vast unmapped region had been recognized by General Billy Mitchell as early as 1920. Finally in 1940, work was under way to establish a string of primary and emergency airfields with radio range navigational facilities across northwestern Canada to Alaska. On December 7, 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the completion of the airway became more urgent, and the construction of a highway was also deemed necessary. Highway survey and construction crews were in the field by February 1942. The airway and the highway generally followed the same route, and in many ways, each complimented the other.

  • Combat Excellence-Always on Mission 2 Combat Excellence from the WING COMMANDER
    Special Edition June 2016 Combat Excellence-Always on Mission 2 Combat Excellence From The WING COMMANDER COL. TIM DONNELLAN Warriors of the 124th Fighter Wing - I hope this publication finds our deployed members settling into their new schedules, and our next round of RCP deployers finalizing their preparation for departure. This is another special edition of the Beacon, but unlike our last one that focused solely on deployment preparation, this one will discuss sustainment for those who are already in place. I hope you will find the articles and announcements in here useful and insightful, as we all learn to adjust to this “new normal”. The city of Boise and the Treasure Valley as a whole have been absolutely phenomenal in their level of support, and we’re just getting started! Our family support staff has been receiving offers weekly and is creating a calendar of events. These events and programs, some of which are for deployed member’s families and some of which are for all military, including special offers and programs. They are not for the intent of giving a financial benefit, but for the purpose of truly wanting to make life easier during the deployment. The city of Boise has rolled out their “Our Troops, Our Families” program which is gaining momentum. If you are the spouse of an airman, whether deployed or not, you should have been contacted already by someone in your organization. This person will be providing you with information on various programs, Yellow Ribbon, and special events. If you have not been contacted, please get in touch with either your first sergeant or commander and let them know you haven’t heard from anyone.
