    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.

  • Military Operations
    Case Study Military Operations In additon to serving more traditional aviation users, Tennessee’s airports provide substantial support to military aviation, including both the Tennessee Air National Guard (ANG) and the United States Air Force. These units have played important strategic roles in national defense and the United States’ military presence around the world. Further, their locations are tied to the geopolitical history of the nation. For instance, the nuclear research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s hydroelectric facilities gave critical strategic value to having military aviation as national defense. McGhee Tyson ANG Base – A Legacy of Service in Tennessee The McGhee Tyson ANG Base is located at McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS). Units housed at the base include the 134th Air Refueling Wing, 119th Command and Control Squadron, and 241st Engineering Installation Squadron. The 134th flies KC-135 Stratotankers, the military’s primary aerial refueling aircraft. The KC-135 has been in service for over fifty years and has a strategic role in extending the endurance of United States aircraft in action. The 134th has served in conflicts worldwide for decades, including most recently in the Middle East. The 119th plays a unique support role in ensuring the United States Air Force’s operational readiness as a component of the United States Strategic Command. Its continued presence in Tennessee reflects the state’s importance in the nation’s geopolitical legacy. The 241st has a long history in Tennessee, most recently relocating from another base in Chattanooga to the McGhee Tyson ANG Base. In total, McGhee Tyson ANG Base personnel, including both Air and Army National Guard members, account for over 1,400 jobs earning a combined annual $52 million in wages.

    UNCLASSIFIED !1fKaro I 01t;i~ Commission Sensitive MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Event: Interviews at Otis Air National Guard Base (Otis ANGB) ® Type of event: Interview with Brigadier General Donald J. Quenneville Date: January 7, 2004 Special Access Issues: None Prepared by: Geoffrey Brown Team Number: 8 Location: 1020d Fighter Wing, Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts Air National Guard Participants - Non-Commission: Andrew Huddleston (Dep Ch, Plans, Integration & Transformation Div, AF/XOHP, 703 696-0024, Fax: 703 588-0636) Participants - Commission: John Fanner, John Azzarello, Geoffrey Brown Background: Quenneville has been in the military for 33 years. Eight years of which was active duty. He came to the 1020d Fighter Wing in 1978, and last year became the commander of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Please see the attached biography for further details. Alert Site Mission: Quenneville recalled that in 1972 NORAD's Air Defense mission included fifteen or sixteen alert sites. Between 1972 and 2001 the number of sites declined due to the perception of the Cold War threat. Most of those bases were at the maritime borders in 2001, as opposed to the northern alert sites that were active in the Cold War, and meant to respond to an attack from over the North Pole and Canadian airspace. Quenneville explained that the alert site mission was relatively constant through its changes. He noted that the mission at Otis ANGB was mostly focused on responding to Russian Bear (a type of aircraft with the capacity to carry air-to-surface missiles) activity. When the Russians developed the Bear H model- that has the capability of launching a cruise missile - Otis had a high priority on shadowing those aircraft; but as the Russian defense capability declined with the worsening of the Russian economy, the number of alert sites declined.
