  • Use of National Guard Troops for Federal Requests on Federal Land
    3833 South Development Avenue; Boise, ID 83705 NMAC Correspondence 2019-05 April 30, 2019 To: State Foresters, State Adjutant Generals for the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana From: National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group (NMAC) Subject: Use of National Guard Troops for Federal Requests on Federal Land Active Component and National Guard Ground Forces are considered surge capacity and will only be requested when all civilian firefighting crews are committed. In 2018, all Federal requests for military ground forces on federal land were offered to the National Guard through the appropriate lead state agency of the affected state before consideration of Title 10 Department of Defense (DoD) Forces. This model worked very well and contributes to increased efficiencies in mobilization and effective use of resources. For 2019 NMAC will continue to focus specifically on the four (4) states that have historically required surge capacity from military ground forces; California, Oregon, Washington, Montana. While this business model worked well last year, we recognized the criticality of timely communication and confirmation of either affirmative or negative response to the request. NIFC will require an answer to this request within 72 hours. Upon a negative response, or if there is no response within 72 hours, NIFC will then initiate a request for Title 10 forces through the Defense Coordinating Officer. Critical to the request for forces is maintaining and providing status of crew readiness and training to NIFC. NIFC will provide just in time training for Title 10 forces as well as train National Guard forces employed for ground operations unless the State has agreed to train the National Guard forces.

  • RODERICK R. LEON GUERRERO HAGATNA, GUAM I Have Quietly
    RODERICK R. LEON GUERRERO HAGATNA, GUAM I have quietly listened to the ongoing controversy over my relief as Adjutant General for the Guam National Guard (GUNG). I’ve wrestled with how and if I should respond. I have determined there is a need to respond to defend the good Soldiers, Airmen, and Civilian Employees of our GUNG because of the weak response by the GUNG when asked for comments by the media about the transition report. My response is based on my memory, I do not have access to reports, but can be validated by the GUNG, and does not cover all concerned areas identified in the transition report. My primary concern is the accuracy and the generalization of the transition report leaked to the media. The unintended consequences of a potentially inaccurate transition report combined with the press coverage and negative public perception of the GUNG may have an impact on the morale of the hardworking and dedicated Soldiers, Airmen, and Civilian employees of the GUNG. I question how the transition report can measure sexual assault/sexual harassment (SA/SH), low morale, fraternization, inequalities in promotion, an untenable ratio of men to women in leadership and command positions in the Guam Guard. The transition committee could have used federally produced reports to help with their assessment. I suspect that someone or a members from the Leon Guerrero-Tenorio Transition Team interviewed service members of the GUNG. Civilians of a political team interviewing U.S. service members is not appropriate. There are protocols in place to obtain information from service members.
