  • 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].

  • Employment Protections for Members of the West Virginia National Guard
    WV-2015-NG Employment Protections For Members Of The West VirginiA NAtionAl GuArd By Nathan M. Richardson1 Today’s National Guard traces its origins to 1636, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony established the Massachusetts militia to defend the colony against attacks by the Pequot Indians. Other colonies and states later established similar state militias. Early in the 20th Century, Congress established the National Guard as a hybrid federal-state organization. National Guard members are subject to call by the President for national emergencies, and they train periodically for that contingency. National Guard members are also subject to state call-ups, by the Governor. A federal statute called the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)2 accords the right to reemployment to a person who leaves a civilian job (federal, state, local, or private sector) for voluntary or involuntary service in the uniformed services (as defined by USERRA) and who meets the USERRA eligibility criteria.3 USERRA protects the civilian jobs of National Guard members after military training or service under title 10 or title 32 of the United States Code, but USERRA does not apply to state active duty. If National Guard members are to have reemployment rights after state active duty, it must be by state law. Like every other state, West Virginia has enacted a statute to protect the civilian jobs of National Guard members on state active duty. Section 15-1F-8 of the Code of West Virginia provides: Members of the organized militia4 in the active service of the state shall be entitled to the same reemployment rights granted to members of the reserve components of the armed forces of the United States by applicable federal law.
