    IOWA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC DEFENSE PERFORMANCE REPORT Performance Results Achieved for Fiscal Year 2004 MAJOR GENERAL RON DARDIS, THE ADJUTANT GENERAL TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Page INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………….3 DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW Vision……………………………………………………………..4 Mission……………………………………………………………4 Values…………………………………………………………….4 Command Philosophy…………………………………………..5 Major Services and Products…………………………………..6 STRATEGIC PLAN RESULTS………………………………………..7 RESOURCE REALLOCATIONS……………………………………..16 AGENCY CONTACT…………………………………………………..17 2 INTRODUCTION I am pleased to present the Iowa Department of Public Defense Performance Report for fiscal year 2004 (October 1, 2003 – September 30, 2004). This report contains information about the services provided to our country and the State of Iowa during this fiscal year by the citizen-soldiers of the Iowa National Guard. The Iowa National Guard had several outstanding achievements during this past fiscal year. The most significant has been the mobilization of over 4,700 soldiers and airmen to worldwide locations to support US efforts against the global war on terrorism since September 2001. Every Iowa Guard citizen-soldier that deployed was the consummate product of our core functions. We successfully deployed combat-ready soldiers in record numbers because we achieved the high standards of our established services, products, and activities. Another major achievement was our continued high national ranking in the Army Community of Excellence National Guard category competition. We again placed in the top three states in the nation in this highly competitive program to evaluate and reward program performance excellence and continual improvement. The Iowa Guard was judged the first in the nation during 2001 and 2003. We continue to be one of the best three National Guards in the nation.

The "Militia Concept" is woven into the fabric of the Constitution and early laws for the command defense, and as a result, under federal and state laws, it has both a federal and state status. The Army National Guard and the Air National Guard, in accordance with federal law, provide essential units as part of this nation's defense structure. The National Guard, whose origins trace back to 1636, is the embodiment of volunteerism. Its members are subject to “call” or “order to active duty” in the service of the United States in times of national emergency and when disasters and emergencies occur in the several states. The National Guard is organized under Army and Air Force tables of organization and equipment, and is equipped and trained in accordance with DOD policies.
