  • 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.

  • 2000-2001 Annual Report
    1 The Honorable Bob Taft Governor of Ohio 30th Floor 77 South High Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 Dear Governor Taft, I am pleased to present you with the Adjutant Generals Department annual report for 2000. It provides financial information for the states fiscal year, July 1, 1999, through June 30, 2000, and highlights the departments training year, which extended through September 2000. The department underwent a major restructuring this year, as recommended by a task force which addressed concerns such as enhanced communication, increased tasking and customer satisfaction. The development of two directorates, Joint Op- erations and Public Relations, and the streamlining of state and federal Human Resources were a few significant results of the reorganization. During this reporting period, Ohios Army Guard engineers returned to Nicara- gua to continue recovery efforts from Hurricanes Mitch and Georges, while an- other contingent performed road and bridge construction and repair in Eagle Pass, Texas, to aid Border Patrol agents on the U.S.-Mexico border. The states Air Guard units provided airlift, fighter and aerial refueling support through various Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) commitments, while support units and indi- viduals deployed separately to perform Expeditionary Combat Support contingen- cies (ESC) world-wide. In a joint effort, Air and Army Guardmembers worked New Years Eve for Ohios Y2K prevention efforts, and were prepared to assist the state with commu- nications, transportation and security missions. Nearly 40 guardmembers provided security, traffic control and public affairs support after a tornado destroyed many homes and businesses in the city of Xenia, and 12 members assisted the Ohio Department of Health in the distribution of oral anti-rabies vaccinations to the wild raccoon population in six northeastern counties.
