Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.

  • Chairman Ghanbari, Vice Chair Loychik, Ranking Member Miller
    The Adjutant General’s Department Testimony of Major General John Harris, Adjutant General for Ohio Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee March 17, 2021 Chairman Ghanbari, Vice Chair Loychik, Ranking Member Miller and members of the Ohio Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committee, I am Major General John Harris, and I have the distinct honor of representing and leading the more than 16,000 Soldiers, Airmen, State Defense Force members and civilians who are your Ohio National Guard. With more than three decades of military service, I never could have imagined the role that the Ohio National Guard has performed in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as civil unrest. This September will mark 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. During that time, the National Guard has become a fully operational force and a major contributor to combat operations and worldwide deployments in support of the national defense strategy. In 2020, in addition to those global demands, the National Guard validated its role as the nation’s primary homeland response team. That change, though extremely difficult at times and without any historic precedence, forced the Ohio National Guard to fully test its agility, unique capacity, and absolute commitment to serving nation and state regardless of the environment or the mission. As I testify before you today, your Ohio National Guard is helping to mitigate food insecurity at 14 regional food banks across this state, working alongside the Ohio Department of Health to rapidly receive and package life-saving COVID-19 vaccines, and supporting the Ohio Department of Aging in inoculating our most at-risk populations, all the while, continuing to answer the call, in performing our traditional role as a stateside natural disaster response force, during the recent ice storm cleanup in Lawrence and Gallia Counties.

  • Ohio Army National Guard Camouflage Jerseys Hit Field for Second Season High School Football Teams Honoring Military Again in 2020
    Sept. 2, 2020 Log# 20-25 For Immediate Release Ohio Army National Guard camouflage jerseys hit field for second season High school football teams honoring military again in 2020 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio high school football teams are showing their support for the military once again this year by growing the Operation Buckeye Guard program and wearing special camouflage jerseys to salute service members statewide. This is the second season for the military-themed jerseys, courtesy of the Ohio Army National Guard, and the ninth year for Operation Buckeye Guard (OBG), a program started by the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHSFCA) in 2011 to recognize military service under the Friday night lights. “I personally want to thank the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association and all the football coaches who have shown their support for Ohio service members, past and present,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general. “As the 2020 football season unfolds, the Ohio National Guard stands ready to serve and support schools and communities on and off the field. Best of luck to all of the teams!” The OHSFCA set a goal of 220 Operation Buckeye Guard sign-ups for 2020, and exceeded that goal with 237 high schools signing on by mid-August. Through OBG, high schools can request American flag helmet decals, school-branded patriotic banners, and various other promotions to support military appreciation activities, to include the jerseys sanctioned by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for home team wear. “The Hometown Hero Game of the Week program is an amazing commitment by the Ohio Army National Guard to support the more than 35,000 young men who play football in Ohio,” said Jerry Cooke, past president of OHSFCA.
