    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lt. Col. Richard Stackpole April 9, 2021 OFFICE: 615.313.0662 21-14 [email protected] Colonel Jason Glass leads military COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Col. Jason Glass, Tennessee’s Assistant Adjutant General, Air, was named Tennessee’s first Dual-Status Commander for the federally-supported effort to help vaccinate citizens throughout Memphis against COVID-19 on April 1. Dual-Status Commanders serve a critical and unique function during emergencies by commanding both National Guard and active-duty forces. They coordinate and give orders to both state and federal troops, therefore simplifying the command and control of military personnel. The president and governor must both agree to the establishment of a dual status commander in the event of an emergency requiring the need to use multicomponent personnel. In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local agencies, Glass leads a team of approximately 130 Navy and Marine Corps personnel with the 2nd Marine Division who arrived in Memphis earlier this week. The Sailors and Marines, organized as Vaccine Support Teams, help support a city-run, federally-supported Community Vaccination Center located at the Pipkin building at the Memphis Fairgrounds. In addition, he leads more than 30 Army and Air National Guard personnel also supporting the vaccination efforts in Memphis. “I’m honored to serve in this role,” said Glass. “Any opportunity to command is a blessing, but to be able to have four branches of the service under one multi-component command is a once in a life time opportunity and one that I don’t take lightly.

  • 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.
