According to our constitution and Federal laws the National Guard is responsible to community, State and Federal missions and may be em­ ployed in peace or war anywhere in the world. The system under which National Guard units are organized includes the provision that the National Guard in each State will be under the command of the Governor in time of peace but must be organized, trained, equipped and admin­ istered under the standards prescribed by the United States Army or the United States Air Force as appropriate. Federal funds and policies are transmitted to the States through the National Guard Bureau which is a bureau of the Departments of the Army and the Air Force and is located in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C, The Governor carries out his military obligations and responsi­ bilities through a State official called "The Adjutant General", The Adjutant General is the executive head of the Oklahoma Military De­ partment. He is an organizer and administrator, but does not exercise command of tactical units. The value of the National Guard lies entirely in what its own member?, home Communities, and the State are willing to put into it. GENERAL The Oklahoma Military Department is a Department of the State government and was established by Title 44 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Title 44 includes the following provisions: All matters concerning or relating to the Militia, the National Guard or other military organizations and such other duties as may be assigned by the Governor shall be administered by and through the Military Department. The Military Department shall be administered and controlled by the Governor as Commander in Chief with the Adjutant General as the executive and administrative head thereof. There shall be assigned to the department such officers, enlisted men and employees as may be considered necessary by the Gov­ ernor as Commander in Chief and as may be authorized by law and Nation­ al Guard Regulations.

Heading the list is the Governor as Commander in Chief, who has supreme command of the military forces of the State when not in Federal service. Immediately under the Governor is the State Adjutant General. Our State statutes provide that The Adjutant General shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate.

He performs those administrative duties not specifically assigned to any of the staff sections. We have 12 operating sections to help The Adjutant General accom­ plish his mission. This is where the detailed work takes place. The section leaders provide information, make estimates and recommendations, prepare plans and orders and supervise their execution. The staff sections are as follows: Public Relations Section. Personnel Operations and Management Section. State Fiscal Section. Intelligence & Security Section. Operations and Training Section.
