  • Ohio Air National Guard Base on Short List for New Cyber Mission
    Nov. 21, 2020 Log# 20-30 For Immediate Release Ohio Air National Guard base on short list for new cyber mission COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Air National Guard’s 179th Airlift Wing at Mansfield-Lahm Airport in Mansfield, Ohio, is one of two sites selected as possible locations for a new mission. The U.S. Department of Defense notified Gov. Mike DeWine on Nov. 20, 2020, that the U.S. Air Force had selected Mansfield as a candidate location to host an Air National Guard Information Warfare (Cyber) Wing (IWW). “This is exciting news,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general and commander of the Ohio National Guard. “This potential new mission for the men and women of the Ohio Air National Guard would bring in-demand cybersecurity positions to the area. It would position us in the middle of the military’s cutting edge cyber capability and the fight against emerging cyber threats.” The Mansfield site is one of two being considered for the IWW, with the other being Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota. The Air Force is expected to conduct site surveys at each of the two locations. The mission is planned to begin transitioning in 2022. The 179th currently flies the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft on missions across the United States and around the world. In addition, the unit participates in disaster relief efforts and other domestic emergencies as required. There are approximately 900 members at the wing. -30- FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Stephanie Beougher, public information officer, at 614-506-3490 or [email protected].

The original of the 8 Sept., 2008 letter from LTG Campbell to then Gov. Sarah Palin would certainly be in files at the Governor’s office. I have little doubt that the 4 August, 2008 Report by MAJ Matthew Cooper was also forwarded to the governor’s office as a matter of course to justify LTG Campbell’s actions with respect to the ASDF, and to demonstrate completion of the investigation of my complaint to then Gov. Sarah Palin. Further, the 2005 Report by then LTC Robert Doehl is within the Governor’s purvey to produce as Commander-in-Chief, ASDF and as the Governor. I did not make the FOIA request at issue to DMVA. Again, at least two of the documents are undoubtedly in files from the previous administration at the Governor’s offices. Therefore, the Governor’s offices have an obligation to produce what they have. If it is the intent of the Governor to refuse production, please provide a letter stating such.

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.

  • New Commander Selected for Ohio Air National Guard's 179Th Airlift Wing
    Jan. 16, 2018 Log# 18-02 For Immediate Release New commander selected for Ohio Air National Guard’s 179th Airlift Wing Col. Allison Miller becomes first woman to lead wing operations in Buckeye State COLUMBUS, Ohio — A decorated pilot and 20-year veteran of the National Guard will become the first woman to lead an Ohio Air National Guard wing. Col. Allison Miller takes command of the 179th Airlift Wing in Mansfield, Ohio, during an official change of command ceremony at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 21 at the Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base in Mansfield, Ohio. Miller is currently the director of safety for the Air National Guard, and will be replacing Col. James Camp, who became the Ohio assistant adjutant general for Air on Dec. 29, 2017. "Col. Miller has had an exceptionally distinguished career over the past 20 years — starting out at the top as a distinguished graduate at the Academy of Military Science, graduating third in her undergraduate pilot training class, earning the highest academic honors from Air Command and Staff College, and supporting numerous deployments with more than 400 combat hours flying over Iraq and Afghanistan. Col. Miller is as ready as any Airman to fulfill the duties of wing command, and the men and women of the 179th Airlift Wing will be excited to welcome her to Ohio," said Maj. Gen. Mark E. Bartman, Ohio adjutant general. In her new role, Miller will command the 1,100 Airmen of the 179th, which flies the C-130H Hercules to provide tactical airlift capabilities to both domestic and expeditionary missions.
