Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.

    The Adjutant General’s Department Testimony of Major General John Harris, Adjutant General for Ohio Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee March 17, 2021 Chairman Ghanbari, Vice Chair Loychik, Ranking Member Miller and members of the Ohio Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committee, I am Major General John Harris, and I have the distinct honor of representing and leading the more than 16,000 Soldiers, Airmen, State Defense Force members and civilians who are your Ohio National Guard. With more than three decades of military service, I never could have imagined the role that the Ohio National Guard has performed in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as civil unrest. This September will mark 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. During that time, the National Guard has become a fully operational force and a major contributor to combat operations and worldwide deployments in support of the national defense strategy. In 2020, in addition to those global demands, the National Guard validated its role as the nation’s primary homeland response team. That change, though extremely difficult at times and without any historic precedence, forced the Ohio National Guard to fully test its agility, unique capacity, and absolute commitment to serving nation and state regardless of the environment or the mission. As I testify before you today, your Ohio National Guard is helping to mitigate food insecurity at 14 regional food banks across this state, working alongside the Ohio Department of Health to rapidly receive and package life-saving COVID-19 vaccines, and supporting the Ohio Department of Aging in inoculating our most at-risk populations, all the while, continuing to answer the call, in performing our traditional role as a stateside natural disaster response force, during the recent ice storm cleanup in Lawrence and Gallia Counties.

Biological Sciences Communication Project. SPONS AGENCY ERIC Clearinghouse on Library and Information Sciences, Minnt.auolis, Minn.; Federal Library Committee, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE Oct 70 NOTE 283p. EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$1.25 HC-$14.25 DESCRIPTORS *Directories, *Government Libraries, *Libraries, *National Libraries, School Libraries, Special Libraries ABSTRACT This Roster of Federal Libraries represents an attempt by the Federal Library Committee to identify each of the more than 1,900 individual libraries serving the many departments, committees, agencies, courts, and other formal organizational entities in the Federal Government. They include six types: Presidential, national, general, academic, school, and special or technical. Part I of the three part roster is arranged, alphabetically, within the designated Branches of the Government, then by country, state and city. Part II provides a geographic arrangement, first by country alphabetically, then by state, city, department and bureau. Part III is a listing, alphabetically, by general subject category or type of library. Within the subjects the libraries are arranged by country, state, city, department and bureau. A descriptive explanation and index to contents precedes each of the three parts. A National Plan for Federal Library Statistics has been designed by the Federal Library Committee's Subcommittee on Statistical Programs. It is scheduled for testing in fiscal year 1971 and implementation starting in fiscal year 1972. The Plan will permit accurate, annual identification of Federal libraries. Rosters, based upon information received, will be issued on a regular basis.
