Ohio Army National Guard Wins the OPE Gold Level Achievement of Excellence. The Ohio Partnership for Excellence Board of Trustees on April 28 announced the Ohio Army Guard as a 2010 award recipient. OPE is Ohio‟s Baldrige-based quality program. They partner with organizations using the internationally-recognized Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence to assist them to improve their performance and increase effectiveness. OPE‟s primary product is a comprehensive organizational assessment that helps organizational leaders better understand and prioritize key strengths and opportunities for improvement. While the assessment is the foundation, OPE‟s main focus is on organizational learning, resource optimization and improvement. This is the Ohio Army National Guard's second year as a participant in the OPE program. The Army Guard has benefited greatly from its decade long Army Communities of Excellence (ACOE) participation, winning national awards in 2003, 2006, and 2009. Although both programs use the same criteria, OPE provides a very different focus from that of the ACOE program, in that it is non- military and is administered by skilled examiners who are leaders in Ohio communities. The insights already gained have been significant and have greatly enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of the Army Guard.

  • FY21 F-16 Fact Sheet
    Air National Guard F-16 Viper Modernization Fiscal Year 2021 Fact Sheet The Issue Air National Guard F-16s make up a significant percentage of the Total Air Force fighter fleet. The F-16 Viper, a multirole air superiority aircraft, deploys in support of overseas contingency operations and performs domestic emergency response missions. However, the F-16 requires modernization and technology enhancements to continue to maintain readiness and lethality in the future. Two F-16 Vipers from the 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard, fly in formation. Background Recommendation Air National Guard F-16s provide 37% of the Air Force’s total ANG Designation F-16 force and are engaged around the globe in numerous U.S. contingency operations.

  • 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.

This two-day event will serve as an opportunity for discussion with national defense experts about Ohio’s role in maintaining national defense. Last year, the Ohio Defense Forum was created to discuss the future of defense. As home to ten military installations, Ohio is “The Ohio Defense Forum was a bedrock of defense for our country. Since then, the threats created to discuss the future of defense. As home to ten military our country faces have grown dramatically. Nations like North installations, Ohio is a bedrock of Korea, Iran, and Russia pose even greater dangers now than defense for our country.” they did a year ago. I look forward to government, military, and defense industry officials coming together again during these two days to discuss how we can work together more efficiently to keep America safe.
