  • 2010 Annual Report
    The Ohio Adjutant General’s Department 2010 Annual Report When called, we respond with ready units I am pleased to present the Adjutant General’s Department annual report for 2010. It contains financial information for the state’s fiscal year from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 and highlights the department’s training years, which extend through September 2010. As the tenth year of the Global War on Terrorism comes to an end, I am extremely proud of the achievements of the men and women of the Ohio National Guard who continue to answer the call to duty. The Ohio National Guard has deployed more than 17,675 Sol- diers and Airmen in support of overseas contingency missions; more than 1,200 troops deployed during the 2010 training year. In January 2010, our Springfield-based 179th Airlift Wing landed the first C-130 airplane on the ground in Haiti following a devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Three aircrews with two C-130 cargo airplanes who were conducting theater airlift support missions in Puerto Rico were immediately diverted to support relief efforts. Here at home, our troops conducted humanitarian missions during our annual GuardCare operation over two week- ends in Carrollton, Ohio, providing much-needed care to medically-underserved com- munities. We broke ground on several new state-of-the-art facilities including three on the Defense Supply Center, Columbus, campus including a Combined Support Maintenance Shop, a United States Property and Fiscal Office warehouse and a training facility for the 147th Regiment (Regional Training Institute) as well as a facility to house the expanded 200th RED HORSE detachment at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, and a shoot house at Camp Ravenna in Northeast Ohio.

The State Watchdog “Safeguarding integrity in state government” The Office of the Ohio Inspector General is authorized by state law to investigate alleged wrongful acts or omissions committed by state officers or state employees involved in the management and operation of state agencies. We at the Inspector General’s Office recognize that the majority of state employees and public officials are hardworking, honest, and trustworthy individuals.

It is the commitment of the Inspector General’s Office to fulfill its mission of safeguarding integrity in state government. We strive to restore trust in government by conducting impartial investigations in matters referred for investigation and offering objective conclusions based upon those investigations. Statutory authority for conducting such investigations is defined in Ohio Revised Code §121.41 through 121.50. A Report of Investigation is issued based on the findings of the Office, and copies are delivered to the Governor of Ohio and the director of the agency subject to the investigation. At the discretion of the Inspector General, copies of the report may also be forwarded to law enforcement agencies or other state agencies responsible for investigating, auditing, reviewing, or evaluating the management and operation of state agencies.

    Aug. 21, 2019 Log# 19-20 For Immediate Release Military reserve component called to duty in support of tornado cleanup COLUMBUS, Ohio — At the request of the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Mike DeWine has signed a state active duty proclamation to activate select personnel from the Ohio Military Reserve to assist with cleanup efforts from the May tornado in southwestern Ohio. “Great progress has been made to recover from the tornadoes that struck our state this spring. We must continue to use all of the resources at our disposal to aid in the recovery efforts, which is why I have signed the proclamation to activate the Ohio Military Reserve to assist in Montgomery County,” said Gov. DeWine. The Ohio Military Reserve (OHMR) will provide two to three personnel for up to 18 weeks to oversee logistics as contractors remove debris in the area. “This is a perfect mission for the Ohio Military Reserve, as they train every month on logistical support to be ready at a moment’s notice when their fellow Ohioans need help,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general. The OHMR is a component of the Ohio organized militia, along with the Ohio National Guard and the Ohio Naval Militia, and serves under the adjutant general as commander of the organized militia and the governor as commander in chief.
