OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL1000 Halsey Ave. Building 447

Marietta, GA 30060

It is with great pride that I present you with this annual report, outlining the accomplishments of the Georgia Department of Defense for 2014. This report reflects the outstanding support and capabilities that our 15,000+ men and women have brought to the global war fight and to our fellow citizens, right here in our great state of Georgia.

Over the course of 2014, the Georgia Department of Defense conducted numerous operations including: two winter storm responses, continuous/multiple counter drug operations with local and state law enforcement agencies in Georgia, Southwest border aerial surveillance and detection missions, as well as overseas combat and combat support operations. As you can readily see, even as the global war on terrorism winds down, we continue to provide mission ready units and specialized capabilities both at home and abroad. It is indeed humbling to have led such great Georgians.

As the Georgia Department of Defense continues to face an uncertain federal military budget, it will also face challenges maintaining operational readiness, force structure and mission sets, competing with the active component and reserves for funds and emerging missions. Over the course of the War on Terrorism, the National Guard - and specifically the Georgia National Guard - have successfully evolved from a strategic force to an operational force. This is evident by the successes we have achieved when conducting our overseas war fight missions as an equal force to our active duty counterparts. We must be vigilant and ensure we do not lose the progress we have fought so hard to achieve. To evolve with and remain ahead of the needs of our great state, GaDoD current initiatives and efforts include expanding our cyber defense capabilities and focusing on our defense support to civil authorities mission. However, now more than ever, we need you, our fellow Georgians, to show your active support for the Georgia Department of Defense and enable us to be ready when called upon.

The Soldiers, Airmen, State Defense Force members and state employees of the Georgia Department of Defense remain a ready and relevant force that has proven to be integral to our country’s global and domestic operations. As evidenced by the operations carried out over the past year by our well trained and dedicated personnel, your Georgia Department of Defense has answered the call of both its nation and state, and is well- postured to do so when asked again. The citizens of Georgia can take comfort and pride in knowing its Georgia National Guard is Always Ready, Always There and Always on Target – that is YOUR Georgia National Guard!

2014 annual report | 66 | GeorGia Department of Defense

With more than 15,000 members and a budget of over $530 million, the business of conducting operations in the Georgia Department of Defense is complex. In fiscal year 2000, the Ga. DoD adopted the Malcolm Baldrige business model as our business management process to conduct operations. We have shown continuous improvement in our performance ever since. Our operational business model allows us to focus the Ga. DoD on developing, deploying, measuring, utilizing and learning processes to manage and improve our internal business operations. This model has allowed us to not only remain competitive but to be recognized as an industry leader in the services we provide.

As one of the larger National Guard organizations, the Ga. DoD competes annually for resources and funding with 53 other states and territories. For the past six years, the Ga. DoD has been recognized as one of the top-three performing National Guard organizations in the nation by the National Guard Bureau. Our business practices ensure that as funds and resources become scarcer, Georgia is postured by efficiency and stewardship to continue operations.

Our business model begins with internal and external annual assessments of our operating processes. Internal assessments are conducted by program managers, senior leaders, in-house auditors and members of our governance management team which includes our inspector general, judge advocate general, internal review division and a federally appointed property and fiscal accountability officer. Accountability for management actions is maintained through the use of the internal management control process as mandated by the Federal Manager’s Integrity Act of 1982. Fiscal accountability is maintained by actions

of our federally appointed property and fiscal accountability officer and is achieved through a program budget advisory council, which monitors our annual funding levels versus actual execution of funds. Our resource management division reviews funding levels and investigates discrepancies.

Results from our assessments are reviewed annually by our senior leadership team during our strategic management board. During the board, current organization performance is reviewed and areas for improvement are identified to accomplish the future vision of the Ga. DoD. During the Strategic Management Board, senior leaders use a formal strategic planning process to determine current organization performance; refine business directions; set missions, visions and values and ensure the organization is postured to meet the expectations of our customers. From the strategic planning process, updated Ga. DoD strategic priorities, goals and objectives are established and are communicated to department leaders for action plan development and implementation using a five-year strategic planning cycle.

Georgia DoD strategic priorities, goals and objectives are communicated by our three primar y internal department commanders to the workforce through yearly training/operational guidance. Subsequent leaders and first-line managers disseminate guidance and policies to ensure that the overall mission and work of the organization is understood and executed by all employees. The understanding and deployment of this guidance is evaluated by annual assessments that continue the business cycle.

Overall performance of our business practices is assured through the aggressive monitoring of key performance indicators by our senior

leaders that provides early indications of our ability to deliver our services and to meet customer expectations. Each major department within the Ga. DoD manages a key performance indicator dashboard and tracks progress of our goals and objectives. Reviews and evaluations of performance are conducted by program managers and process improvement teams to make in-course corrections on programs not meeting expectations. When performance expectations fall short, new processes are identified and implemented to ensure we still accomplish the goals of the Ga. DoD and provide quality service to our customers.

The Ga. DoD remains in constant contact with our customers through various forums such as workshops, conferences, direct meetings, and biannual surveys to ensure we continue to not only meet but exceed their expectations. Feedback and assessments from our customer engagements are entered into our annual assessment of processes and considered during our strategic planning processes.

The Ga. DoD business process model is a continuous life cycle that that allows us an integrated approach to organization performance management. Senior leader involvement and commitment ensures we remain focused on the future, our mission and providing the best possible service to our customers, thus ensuring organizational sustainability.

Assessments of current performance and customer expectations using the criteria found in the business model allow the Ga. DoD to deliver ever-improving value to our customers and stakeholders, contribute to organizational sustainability, and ensure improvement to organization effectiveness and capabilities supporting the Governor’s strategic goal of a more efficient Georgia government.

The Georgia Guard as a Business


The motto of the Georgia Department of Defense: “always ready, always there, always on target!” An accurate portrait of what this organization

offers the state of Georgia and the nation. In meeting the requirement to provide ready and relevant forces to combatant commanders and homeland defense and defense support to civil authorities, the Georgia Army and Air National Guard have a significant economic impact on the economy of the state of Georgia.

With a 15 percent increase in personnel since 2005, more than 15,000 men and women make up the Ga. DoD, hailing from each of the 159 counties across the Peach State – making our service members and civilian staff truly “home grown.”

In Federal and State payroll

taxes alone, the state collects more than $26 million from our Guardsmen and civilians employed by the Ga. DoD. With a federal budget of $517 million and state budget of $15 million, the Ga. DoD also produces lasting results in the state with flourishing youth programs, an outstanding military readiness capability, and ingenuity in military construction programs – which at present are injecting almost $61 million into the Georgia economy.

Despite our large presence in the state, the Ga. DoD andd its operations account for only .001 percent of the state budget in 2014 – just $15 million.

Overall, the Ga. DoD annually injects almost $1 billion into the Georgia economy, making it a vital part of our thriving economy. This is accomplished through payroll, logistics, maintenance and service

contracts, construction and many other ways. As such, the Ga.DoD is one of the largest employers in Georgia and significantly impacts our economy. Additionally, the fact that 150 of the 159 counties either have a National Guard armory or are immediately adjacent to a county with one, demonstrates our statewide economic presence and impact.

While our economic impact in Georgia is significant, the most important asset we have is our service members. The Ga. DoD service members are not just the protectors of your communities; we are your brothers and sisters, your neighbors and friends. In times of peace, we live side-by-side by with you, working to make this state great. And in times of war and peril, know that your Ga. DoD will answer the call, as we are always ready, always there, always on target!

Georgia Army National Guard

The Georgia Army National Guard (GAARNG) consists o f m o r e t h a n 1 1 , 1 0 0 Citizen-Soldiers training in 54 hometown armories

and readiness centers across the state. Georgia’s Army Guard has the eighth largest authorized end strength allocation in the nation and is comprised of combat, combat support and combat service support units.

The GAARNG is organized into six major subordinate commands: the 48th

Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) in Macon; the 560th Battlefield Surveillance Br igade in Cumming; the 648th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade at Fort Benning; the 78th Troop Command, the 201st Regional Support Group / Region 4 Homeland Response Force, and the 78th Aviation Troop Command at Clay National Guard Center in Marietta.

The organization’s mission is to provide well trained and motivated forces to the governor and combatant commanders in order of support unified land operations. In 2014, the GAARNG surpassed all federal and state requirements to include the deployment and redeployment of more than 1,670 Soldiers, representing all six major subordinate commands. These mobilizations sent Georgia Guardsmen to Afghanistan, Barbados, Cameroon, Canada, Dominican Republic, Germany, South Korea, Romania and Italy. The GAARNG was the first National Guard unit to be chosen to execute missions under the Regionally Aligned Forces initiative. The 48th IBCT supported U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Army South by training forces in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to build military capacity and enhance the law enforcement capabilities in those countries to enable them to more effectively combat transnational criminal organizations and drug trafficking organizations.

In addition to overseas operations, the GAARNG supported the Office of Homeland Security throughout 2014 on our nation’s Southwest Border to safeguard citizens with aerial detection and monitoring, as part of Operation River Watch II. The GAARNG also provided emergency defense support of civil authorities to two separate snow storms in late January and early February, with 200 response vehicles and over 740 Soldiers. These Guardsmen assisted over 5,000 stranded motorists, recovered 280 stranded vehicles and cleared over 550 debris piles that were blocking roadways for Georgia’s citizens.

The GAARNG’s four strategic priorities ensure continued preparedness to meet all missions: quality strength, logistics excellence, preeminent facilities

and continuous improvement. Relative to quality strength, the GAARNG finished as one of the nation’s best in recruiting for fiscal year 2014, by enlisting 1,757 quality Soldiers, resulting in 114 percent of their assigned mission. The GAARNG continues to set the medical readiness standard for the nation by maintaining a medical readiness rate above 90 percent.

The GAARNG’s logistics excellence e f for t s i nc lu d e d e qu ippi ng and maintenance programs that ensure our equipment is the newest in the Army inventory and maintained at a high readiness rate.

In support of the GAARNG’s third strategic priority of preeminent facilities, the organization completed construction of three new readiness centers in Macon, Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reser ve Base. Three state of the art maintenance buildings are currently under construction at the GAARNG maintenance and training equipment site at the Georgia Garrison Training Center. These projects bring a combined total of $53,000,000 in military construction federal funding that is matched with $4,000,000 in state funds. The construction and facilities management office (CFMO) executed 19 existing facility renovations and five site improvements totaling $7,570,000 in federal funding and $2,700,000 in state matching funds. Additionally, CFMO has executed $4,356,000 in projects to improve the overall energy efficiency of GAARNG facilities.

The GAARNG uses the Malcolm Baldrige business model as our business management process to conduct operat ions and seek cont inuous improvement. Our operational business model allows us to focus the GAARNG on developing, deploying, measuring, utilizing and learning processes to manage and improve our internal business operations. This model has postured the GAARNG as one of the preeminent ARNG organizations in the nation.

These accomplishments set the condit ions for t he GAARNG to continually be in a position of strength for increased federal and state funding, future force structure, and full-time manning.

The 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT), headquartered in Macon, is made up of more than 3,800 Citizen Soldiers who operate out of 27 hometown armories throughout the state.

The 48th IBCT is organized into six subordinate battalions: the 1st Squadron, 108th Cavalry (CAV) Regiment, 1st Battalion, 121st Infantry (IN) Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 121st Infantry Regiment; 1st Battalion, 118th Field Artillery (FA) Regiment; 148th Brigade Support Battalion (BSB); and the 48th Brigade Special Troops Battalion (BSTB).

The 48th IBCT entered 2014 trained and ready for worldwide deployments

around the globe. The 48th IBCT was truly a global force supporting numerous missions on three continents including a deployment to central Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom where the unit conducted some of the largest and most complex transfers of installations to date as part of the U.S. military drawdown.

The 48th IBCT was the first National Guard unit to conduct Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) missions in the countries of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. These actions set the standard for Army South and all follow-on units to build regional partners’ military capacity in order to enhance the host nations’ capabi l ity to combat transnat ional criminal organizations and drug trafficking organizations.

The 48th IBCT supported the state by quickly responding to winter storms that struck Atlanta and north Georgia, rendering aid and preventing the loss of life or property.

The 1-108th CAV “Rough Riders” primary effort during 2014 was the RAF mission. In addition, the 1-108th CAV conducted its annual reconnaissance and surveillance exercise at Fort Stewart Georgia where they focused on zone reconnaissance.

The 1-121st IN “Spartans” executed the RAF mission in Honduras with great success providing rotational support of key training for the Honduran forces. The Spartans expanded upon their section and platoon level training, conducting a host of battle focused events such as close-quarter combat, military operations on urban terrain and virtual warrior systems.

The 2-121st IN “Warriors” executed the RAF mission as well with great

accolades from the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala and Army South. The Warriors conducted platoon level exercises in attack, defend and movement to contact during their collective training exercise as well as a mortar live fire exercise. Part of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 2-121 IN also provided 35 Guardsmen in support of OEF in northern Afghanistan to provide base support and retrograde operations.

The 1-118th FA “Hickory” set the standard for indirect firing training by conducting quarterly live fire exercises. During their culminating training event, the unit conducted a FA air assault raid and accurately fired 2,069 artillery rounds.

The 148t h BSB “Wishmasters” conducted and coordinated outstanding sustainment support of the 48th IBCT throughout 2014. The Wishmasters were integral in providing line haul assets, transportation, maintenance and medical support for the entire brigade. During their culminating sustainment training exercise, they successfully conducted a full brigade support area operation and movement. Elements of HHC, 148 BSB deployed to Kuwait as part of a security forces mission, while others deployed in conjunction with the 48 IBCT. The 148th BSB also supported the annual Trade Winds Exercise in the Dominican Republic, providing water purification for the entire operation.

The 48th BSTB “Strykers” provided overall mission support for the HHC, 48th IBCT mobilization. Company A, 48 BSTB conducted route reconnaissance/ clearance operations course at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri providing individual training for route clearance operators and specialized counter-improved explosive devices and route clearing equipment and components.

Home-stationed at the Clay National Guard Center, the 78th Aviation Troop Command is the aviation arm of the Georgia Army National Guard, commanded by Colonel R. Dwayne Wilson, with Command Sgt. Major Timothy Jones as his senior enlisted leader.

The mission of the 650 pilots, aircrew, maintenance, and support personnel of the 78th ATC is to mobilize and deploy aviation forces in order to provide command and control, counter-drug, air movement, medical evacuation and air assault support for combat operations worldwide and defense support of civil authority operations during state and national emergencies. With the same operational and training requirements as active aviation components, the command maintains 39 rotary-wing, fixed-wing, and unmanned aircraft systems to support all of the Georgia National Guard units. These aircraft also support the 5th Special Forces Group, 75th Ranger Regiment, 4th and 5th Ranger Training Battalions, the Georgia State Patrol, and the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning. In 2014, the 78th ATC also supported Joint Readiness Training Center 14-08 rotation at Fort Polk, La.

During training year 2014, the 78th ATC executed more than 5,900 accident-free flight hours encompassing multiple deployments and more than 150 training exercises. Detachment 1, Company B, 1-169th General Support Aviation Battalion deployed to Afghanistan for third time since 2005, while Detachment 9, Operational Airlift Command returned home from Afghanistan, after executing over 520 combat missions and transporting 2,000 passengers and 54,000 pounds of equipment and supplies throughout the battle space.

In addition to overseas operations, the 78th ATC supported the Office of Homeland Security on our nat ion’s southwest border to safeguard our citizens through aerial detection and monitoring as part of Operation River Watch II for all of 2014.

The 78th ATC began the year by conducting defense support of civi l authority missions for the state of Georgia during two separate winter storms. Aviation assets moved food, water and blankets while also providing aerial observation of the winter storm damage.

In addition to real-world combat missions, the 78th ATC supported airborne

and air assault operations, aerial gunnery, field artillery transportation and fast-rope and special-purpose insertion and extraction training. The brigade also supported units and civil agencies by conducting water bucket and aero-medical evacuation missions.

The 648th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) was activated on October 1, 2007 in Columbus, Ga. and is now headquartered at Fort Benning. The brigade has an assigned strength of more than 1,600 Soldiers. The current brigade commander, Col. R. Scott Carter, took command in March 2013 and his senior enlisted advisor, Command Sgt. Maj. Samuel W. McCord, assumed responsibility in July 2014.

The 648th MEB is a mission-tailored force which conducts support area operations, maneuver support operations, consequence management and stability operations in order to

assure the mobility, protection and freedom of action to the supported force. MEBs are uniquely designed for both war fighting and operational support roles due to their diverse mixture of officers, warrant officers, and enlisted personnel.

The current GAARNG MEB force structure contains a brigade headquarters, three separate battalions, and a separate signal company. The units of the 648th MEB are the 878th Engineer Battalion, headquartered in Augusta, Ga.; the 348th Brigade Support Battalion, headquartered in Ellenwood, Ga.; the 1-214th Field Artillery Battalion, headquartered in Elberton, Ga. and the 620th Signal Company in Weston, W.Va

The MEB is a fully operational force, ful ly engaged in both its contingency (war) and peacetime missions. In July 2014, the 876th Engineer Company deployed to

Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, to conduct base closure operations and to train and mentor Afghan National Security Forces in route clearance operations. The 878th Engineer Battalion and the 1st Battalion, 214th Field Artillery recently returned from Afghanistan where they supported the Global War on Terrorism in Regional Command (RC)-South and RC-North.

Training and leader development are two keys to the success of the MEB. In August, 2014, staff members of Brigade Headquarters deployed to Camp Casey Korea to support the 2nd Infantry Division War Fighter exercise, one of the largest exercises ever conducted on the Korean Peninsula since the Korean War. The 648th “Team MEB” will be a key contributor as the Army validates its 2020 initiatives and revises doctrine as it pertains to Maneuver Enhancement Brigade roles and responsibilities.

The Georgia Army National Guard’s 560th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (BFSB) is based at the Cumming Regional Readiness Center and is commanded by Colonel Raymond Bossert with Command Sgt. Maj. Roy Marchert as the brigade’s senior enlisted leader.

Since its inception on October 1, 2007, the brigade’s mission has been to provide command and control of reconnaissance, surveillance and intelligence operations in support of a division, corps or joint task force. The motto of the 1,100 Soldiers assigned to the 560th BFSB is “Professional, Ready, Relevant and To the Point.” The Brigade headquarters provides command, control and supervision of the tactical operations of the brigade and attached units, while the headquarters company provides unit administration and logistical support for the brigade staff sections.

Following a ribbon cutting event at the new Cumming Regional Readiness Center in September 2013, the 560th BFSB established relationships in the community of Cumming. Efforts to build relationships included supporting Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies, supporting veterans groups and activities, visiting schools and supporting junior reserve officer training corps and Boy Scout events. In return, the community has been highly supportive of the 560th BFSB.

In May 2014, a civic group, Leadership Forsyth class 2014, raised funds and constructed the “Warrior Walk and Garden” in front of the readiness center. It is dedicated to the Soldiers of the 560th and the Georgia National Guard for their service to the state and nation.

In February 2014, the 560th BFSB was the lead for all National Guard efforts in North Georgia during the winter storms. With roads covered by snow and ice, the units of the 560th assisted communities by patrolling roads, assisting law enforcement, transporting people to and from hospitals, delivering meals, establishing warming shelters and supporting other humanitarian assistance requirements. Assistance teams

from the 560th helped 237 stranded vehicle drivers, transported 87 stranded personnel and helped recover 64 vehicles during the first winter storm of 2014. During the second winter storm of 2014 the 560th assistance teams used their military vehicles to transport 22 medical personnel to the hospital to ensure continuity of care and transported 23 citizens to warming shelters.

The 560th BFSB conducted a combined brigade annual training exercise at Fort Stewart July 11to 27, 2014. Annual training consisted of deploying an advance party, establishing the tactical command post and tactical operations center, and coordinating and monitoring all subordinate unit activities. Training included individual and crew-served weapons qualification; participation in Operation Medical Ultimatum, a 221st Military Intelligence Battalion field training exercise; and airborne operations by units of the 3rd Battalion, 108th Calvary. The 230th Brigade Support Company conducted logistical support operations and the 420th Signal Company provided signal support.

The 560th BFSB carried out several significant and unique training events in 2014. A team of Spanish linguists traveled to El Salvador and Guatemala in support of Beyond the Horizon, a U.S. Army humanitarian and civic assistance exercise. The exercise provided construction and medical assistance to partner nations throughout Central and South America and the Caribbean.

Guardsmen from the 560th traveled to Germany to conduct opposing forces op erat ions and prov ide obs er ver /controller/training support to our state partner, the Country of Georgia, as well as other participating nations during multiple rotations at Joint Multinational Readiness Center.

The 560th also participated in the 70th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden where airborne Soldiers commemorated the historic World War II jump in the Netherlands.

In 2014, the 560th BFSB consolidated family readiness groups by geographic location rather than unit aff i liation to improve the organization of and participation in our FRGs. There are now four recognized FRGs in the brigade that are based around the primary locations where Soldiers of the 560th drill.

Four C-130H Hercules aircraft assigned to the Georgia Air National Guard’s 165th Airlift Wing and the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing dropped 360 U.S., British, Dutch and Polish paratroopers over Groesbeek, Netherlands to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden.

Georgia Air National Guard


The Georgia Air National Guard is committed to the vision of developing top-tier Airmen and units to

protect our nation across the spectrum of conflict and to protect its citizens from natural and man-made disasters with our joint services and interagency partners.

Even in times of budget uncertainty, we will continue to maintain the

high deployment tempo and level of excellence expected of the more than 2,800 Airmen of the Georgia Air National Guard. Several of the Georgia Air Guard’s operational units deployed personnel and equipment throughout the year in support of global operations in addition to the units’ Air Expeditionary Force taskings. The Georgia Air Guard’s core missions are still in high-demand.

The Georgia Air Guard’s largest unit, the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW) based at Robins Air Force Base, flies the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft. The 116th ACW has continuously deployed aircraft and personnel in Southwest Asia for the last 12 years, amassing more than 100,000 flying hours in support of combatant commanders, with 4,900 hours flown in 2014. The 116 ACW also received its 17th Air Force Outstanding Unit Award in 2014, the most of any Air National Guard Unit.

The 165th Airlift Wing based in Savannah, flies the C-130H aircraft, and has deployed aircraft and personnel to Iraq and Afghanistan, on average, every 18 months. In 2014, the unit flew more than 2,000 hours, including combat operations in the Middle East. In February, C-130 aircraft returned from a four-month deployment for the eleventh time in support of the Global War on Terror. The unit received its tenth Air Force Outstanding Unit Award during a ceremony in September.

Our geographically separated units also contributed their support to the Global War on Terror in 2014. Twenty-four members of the 202nd Engineering Installation Squadron returned home after a six month deployment in support of forward operating locations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Forty-four percent of Brunswick’s 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron mobilized for two six-month rotational deployments to support

operational requirements in the Central Command area of responsibility while simultaneously performing two five-month humanitarian missions. The 224th was awarded its seventh Air Force Outstanding Unit Award in 2014.

While 80 members of the 117th Air Control Squadron were deployed to Southwest Asia, the unit additionally supported the citizens of Georgia during winters storms in January and February. Two members of the 165th Air Support Operations Squadron are deployed and four others supported the 70th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden. The 165th ASOS was also awarded its fifth Air Force Outstanding Unit Award in 2014.

Twenty-two Airmen of the 283rd Combat Communications Squadron returned home from joint expeditionary tasking at Shindand Airbase, Afghanistan in 2014 and ten personnel deployed in support of Black Dart 2014, a joint DoD exercise. The 139th Intelligence Squadron activated 30 percent of its personnel to support United States Air Force and national intelligence missions.

After manning reductions, the Combat Readiness Training Center set its focus on two distinct areas – combat training for fighter pilots and the Cyber Training Center. Sentry Savannah 2014, an inaugural air training exercise designed by fighter pilots for fighter pilots received great reviews from participants. Townsend Bombing Range continued forward movement with its $100 million expansion, funded by the United States Marine Corps. Three active duty Air Force instructors joined the CTC staff to help meet the emerging cyber threat.

Our dual-status nature, with responsibilities to the state and federal government, makes our mission unique and provides the flexibility for both local and global response.

With 12 years of cont inuous deployment support to United States C entra l C ommand and evolving p a r t i c ip at i on i n a l l c om b at a nt commands, the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW) continues to provide E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft as ‘a national asset’. The Command, Control, Intelligence, Sur vei l lance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) battle management airborne platform detects, tracks and solves problems to optimize the use of military force and safeguard American lives.

Residing at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, JSTARS is the sole provider of the much lauded and persistently tasked E-8C fleet. The 116th ACW has been on a continuous deployment cycle since 9/11 and has flown more than 100,000 hours supporting combatant commanders and flown over 4,900 hours in deployed operations in 2014.

The 116th ACW is established as the total force host and the Air National Guard (ANG) lead for Team JSTARS, with the 461st Air Control Wing providing Regular Air Force personnel to the active associate construct. The 116th is considered a ‘Total Force’ expert, helping to meet future force construct demands.

As we begin 2015, the 116th ACW and Team JSTARS are ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead, focusing on the core missions of Global Reach, Global Power, and Global Vigilance with “Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do.”

The wing prides itself on achieving its 17th Air Force Outstanding Unit Award—the most AFOUAs of any ANG unit—and has deployed close to 1,500 Team JSTARS personnel who supported four combatant commanders.

The 116th Operations Group helped bring C2ISR and battle management to combatant commanders at home and abroad. The group’s unsurpassed combat readiness was evidenced by providing ISR crews in theater in record time for a short notice deployment tasking providing C2ISR for first-ever coalition strikes on ISIL in previously untouched terrain and airspace. Simultaneously, the group led the f irst east coast planning conference and “Boars Nest” exercise engaging multiple DoD and DHS partners using regional facilities to provide joint inter-agency training opportunities. The 116th OG helped set the pace for worldwide support and Air Force combat operations.

S u p e r i o r m a i n t e n a n c e a n d operations integration is at the core of effective flying. The 116th Maintenance Group’s 93 percent sortie completion rate ensured successful support to four major regions around the globe; integral to the wing’s unprecedented 100,000 hours flown. The focus on safety earned the 116th Maintenance Squadron their third consecutive Department of Labor Award of Excellence for exceptional workplace safety.

The 116th Mission Support Group also provides mission critical support,

both at home and overseas. The group’s Civil Engineering, Force Support, Communicat ions, Logist ics , and Security Squadrons deployed personnel and provided logistics support to four combatant commands. The group’s Contracting Office awarded contracts worth over $8.7 million, ensuring construction and repair projects, and commodities purchases were completed to meet mission requirements. The 116th Civil Engineering Squadron managed and maintained nearly 1 million square feet of real property at Robins AFB and Dobbins ARB and coordinated over $1.5 million of sustainment, restoration and modernization projects. The squadron’s explosive ordnance disposal Team hosted a maritime training event further preparing 30 local emergency responders and multi-service personnel for terrorist related incidences.

Maintaining a healthy force is always a challenge, but in 2014, the 116th Medical Group (MDG) prepared more than 600 ANG members for deployment to prime locations and performed the important task of monitoring the medical status of flying personnel. The MDG is fully mission capable to respond to any emergencies validated by the results of two major inspections. Twenty members participated in Global Patriot, exercising an array of medical capabilities, and later in the year, deployed eight members to the Country of Georgia as part of the Department of State’s Partnership for Peace Program. During drill weekends, the 116th MDG evaluated the health status of approximately 1,100 personnel.

The exceptional accomplishments of the 116th ACW provided the foundation for a robust online presence in 2014. Five stories splashed the headlines of the ANG news summary bolstering the wing’s Facebook presence by 80 percent, helping to grow partnerships and to refine community engagement.

The members of the 116th ACW are proud to serve and consider it an honor to take an active role in their communities and in protecting the nation.

116th Air Control Wing

Col. Kevin D. ClotfelterCommander116th Air Control Wing


Georgia’s 165th Airlift Wing is located at Savannah International Airport and is composed of more than 1,150 men and women who support, maintain and fly the unit’s eight C-130H Hercules aircraft.

The mission of the 165th Airlift Wing is to provide strategic airlift of personnel, equipment and supplies throughout the global sphere. During 2014, aircraft and crews of the 165th flew missions to dozens of nations around the world. The unit maintains one of the highest aircraft operational readiness records in the National Guard and the U.S. Air Force.

As a National Guard wing, part of its dual-mission is to be prepared to assist assistance during state and local emergencies to airlift food, medical supplies, equipment and personnel domestically and internationally. These missions extend to emergency relief support during natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, forest fires, search and rescue operations and defense support to civil authorities.

In Februar y the 165th AW responded to a request from the Georgia Port Authority’s Ocean Terminal to combat a 250,000 square foot warehouse fire. The 165th Fire and Emergency Services Flight provided critical assistance with a P-19 Airport Rescue fire-fighting vehicle and foam trailer, which proved to be instrumental in containing the blaze.

The 165th AW serves as the host base for Brunswick’s 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron, Hunter Army Air Field’s 117th Air Control Squadron, and Garden City’s 165th Air Support Operations Squadron and the Combat Readiness Training Center.

In 2014, the 165th flew more than 2,000 hours, which included combat and combat support operations in the Middle East. This increased the

wing’s combat experience to eleven years of combat operations and well over 11,600 combat flight hours without a single mishap.

In 2014, the unit took part in U.S. Southern Command Operation Coronet Oak. The mission of Coronet Oak is to provide theater airlift services for U.S. military and government operations across the Caribbean and Central and South America.

In June 2014, the 165th AW, along with the Nevada Air National Guard’s 152nd Airlift Wing, participated in ceremonies honoring the 70th anniversar y of D-Day. Crews from the 165th flew two C-130H aircraft, in support of joint airborne operations in France. The 165th flew paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne and French Foreign Legion on several airdrops during the training exercise and commemoration. The 165th worked with more than nine-hundred international military personnel during their time in Corsica France.

In September 2014, the 165th AW took part in another historical commemoration, this time in the Netherlands. The 70th anniversary commemorat ion of Op erat ion Market Garden honored the largest airborne operation in World War II. Four C-130H aircraft from the 165th and part of Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd AW, dropped a mix of U.S., British, Dutch and Polish paratroopers over fields near Groesbeek, Netherlands. Four Joint Terminal Attack Controllers from Georgia Air National Guard’s 165th ASOS participated in these historic commemorations.

The Wing received its tenth Air Force Outstanding Unit Award during a ceremony in September 2014. The unit was recognized for successfully completing 2,500 combat flying hours in support of United States Central Command, Southern Command and Africa Command. The Wing was

also recognized for its superior on-time, on-target airlift in support of Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and New Dawn.

Perhaps t he most amazing achievement for the Wing was receiving the Air Mobility Command Flying Hour Milestone Award. This award was received for an unprecedented rate of over 165,000 accident free hours during a 42 year span. The Wing supported joint and coalition operations in combat environments in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa, as well as stateside airlift missions supporting United States Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps operations.

Control of the highly charged and congested airspace over a given combat zone is the responsibility of the Georgia Air National Guard’s unique 117th Air Control Squadron (ACS) of Savannah.

During exercises, contingencies or combat operations, the 117th A C S ’s c o m m a n d a n d c o n t r o l mission is to provide air control for military aircraft in their sector. As a control and reporting center, the 117th serves as the senior command and control element for the theater Air Force commander and directs the air war as assigned.

Trained air control lers have t h e re sp ons i b i l i t y o f d i re c t i ng aircraft entering, exiting or crossing congested airspace using an array of sophisticated radar equipment and sensors that provide greater c ove r a ge t h an m o s t s m a l l c i t y airports.

In the fal l of 2013, the 117th mobilized 80 personnel for a six month deployment to Southwest Asia. The unit coordinated with Army and Navy forces to lead the regional air defense of the Persian G u l f a r e a . T h e u n i t t r a c k e d , identified and controlled aircraft in assigned areas while executing the orders of the combined aerospace operat ions center.

The 117th was also recognized with an Innovator Award during the 2014 Combined Federal Campaign demonstrating i t s c om m it me nt to c om mu n it y engagement.

Close air support (CAS) for advancing ground units is often critical in perilous combat environments like Afghanistan.

Under the leadership of Lt. Col. Timothy King, the “Battlefield Airmen” of Garden City’s 165th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS) deploy with, advise and assist joint force commanders in planning, requesting, coordinating and controlling CAS, reconnaissance and tactical airlift missions.

In September 2014, the 165th ASOS was awarded its 5th Air Force

Outstanding Unit Award. Two members of the 165th are

currently deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom - one supporting the State Department in Southern Command, and the other in west Afghanistan. The ASOS was called up to assist with a state emergency in February 2014, when winter storm effects struck Augusta and neighboring towns. The ASOS mobilized teams to clear roads and assist stranded citizens.

The 165th ASOS deployed to Fort Leavenworth, Kan. to support the 53rd IBCT, FL ARNG during the latter’s XCTC; Ft A.P. Hill, Va. for a CPX with the 29th ID; conducted small unmanned air vehicles training at Hurlburt AFB and Townsend Bombing Range, and graduated several members from JTAC QC at Nellis AFB and Germany. Members have conducted

CAS training missions in numerous states to include Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Townsend Bombing Range here in Georgia.

Four ASOS members participated in the 70th anniversary of Operation Market Garden – the largest airborne operation of World War II. The ASOS Airmen participated in jumps with the 82nd Airborne Division in the Netherlands.

165th Air Support Operations Squadron

117th Air Control Squadron


Georgia Air National Guard’s 283rd Combat Communications Squadron, located at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, has 112 assigned personnel, 89 traditional and 23 full-time. Its mission is to provide deployable Cyber capabilit ies supporting Joint Forces and the state missions as directed by the Adjutant General to provide personnel and equipment to protect life and property, preserve the peace, order and safety of the general public. The unit possesses state-of-the art communications equipment with multi-skilled airmen who are functional communications experts

with the ability to facilitate rapid deployment of scalable information systems supporting Command and Control (C2), Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Information Operations (IO).

The 283 CBCS redeployed 22 Airmen from a Joint Expeditionary Tasking (JET) at Shindand Airbase, Afghanistan. The team managed a $50 mil l ion dol lar network enterprise in support of 5200 coalition forces, which enabled over 50 “outside-the-wire” missions, 200 aerial resupply taskings, and over 575 medical evacuation sorties. Four personnel were awarded Bronze Star Medals for this deployment.

The 283CBCS deployed 10 personnel supporting Black Dart 2014, a joint collaborative exercise

conducting live demonstration to ass ess D oD, Inter-agenc y and Industry C-UAS (counter - u n m a n n e d a e r i a l s y s t e m ) capabilities. The team deployed, managed, and maintained over 200 communications, assets connecting over 750 personnel across 39 sites, supporting 74 UAS sorties and 53 manned sorties. The 283rd provided the first ever integration of event air picture with off-site Joint Chiefs of Staff-related organizations.

The 224th Joint Communications Support Squadron (JCSS) provides communications support as directed by the United States Transportation Command, Air Mobility Command (AMC), and Ga. DoD. The 224th JCSS has an approved organizational change which places it under AMC. This change allows the 224th to provide mobile communications to both TRANSCOM and AMC, permits it to respond anywhere in the world, and ensures that they are “first in and last out”.

In 2014, the 224th JCSS earned its seventh Air Force Outstanding Unit Award and was the only Air National Guard communications

squadron to earn the honor this year. The performance of the men and women of the 224 JCSS has earned this distinguished and coveted recognition.

The unit mobilized 44 percent of its Airmen for two six-month rotational deployments in support of operational requirements in Central Command. During these deployments, they simultaneously embarked on two f ive month humanitarian missions in the Asia-Pacific region. The squadron’s l e ve l o f s upp or t to d e fe ns e support to civil authorities is also extremely impressive, providing the communications backbone for one federal and two state disaster exercises. This was highlighted by its support of the Special Operations Command exercise, “Emerald Warrior” held in Florida and Mississippi, providing communications in a bare-base environment.

The Citizen-Airmen of the 224th JCSS consistently displayed unwavering commitment and preparedness to respond to both domestic and federal missions. Additionally, the squadron generously responded to community needs, donating more than 500 hours, $20,000 and 75 pints of blood, to a variety of charities, to include the Wounded Warrior Project, the United Way Days of Caring and the Blood Alliance. They continue to personify the Citizen Soldier on the battlefield and in the community.

The primary mission of the 139th Intelligence Squadron (IS) is to execute cryptologic intelligence operations to satisfy strategic, operational and tactical intelligence requirements of national decision makers, combatant commands, combat operations, plans and forces. Additionally, the 139th IS has the state mission to provide a trained and equipped force to assist the citizens of Georgia in times of emergency.

The 45-member intelligence squadron employs 38 traditional and seven full-time Guardsmen. The unit fits the total force initiative “classic associate” squadron model

of the Air Force by working alongside the U.S. Air Force’s 480th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group at Fort Gordon. The 139th IS is tasked to support two distinct USAF missions: Distributed Common Ground System and National-Tactical Integration.

Following its 2008 standup as the 116th Air Control Wing Detachment-1, the 139th IS was federally recognized as a USAF Squadron in 2010, and also declared initial operational capability in 2010. Full operational capability is expected to be reached in early 2015.

The 139th IS continued a high operational mission tempo in 2014, with 30 percent of the operational f o r c e a c t i v a t e d t o s u p p o r t Active Duty USAF and national intelligence missions at National Security Agency / Central Security Service, Georgia. Additionally, three personnel augmented the 117th

Air Control Squadron’s 2013-2014 deployment to Central Command, and three personnel served the state’s counterdrug program.

In May 2014, Lt. Col. Troy Lewis took command from Lt. Col. Geoclyn Williams. Lewis is the third commander in the 139th Intelligence Squadron’s history.

The 139th IS continues to support the Adjutant General and Georgia Department of Defense staff in their efforts with the State Partnership Program with the country of Georgia.

After manning reductions in 2013 reduced the Combat Readiness Training Center’s (CRTC) fulltime personnel by nearly fifty percent, the organization determined the best course of action was to narrow the training focus at its Savannah, Ga. location. In the past, the CRTC supported a myriad of different training events tailored towards large flying wing operational readiness inspections and exercises. Knowing that flexibility is the key to success in a USAF training environment, the CRTC continues to “flex” to meet the changing demands of the Air Force. Accordingly, the staff made a conscious decision in 2014 to focus on fighter pilot training.

Sentry Savannah was the CRTC’s inaugural air training exercise for 2014 with more than 46 f ighter aircraft participating. The exercise,

designed for fighter pilots by fighter pilots, demonstrated to Air Combat Command, the Air National Guard and fighter squadron commanders that the Savannah CRTC had been re-missioned to meet the needs of today’s combat pilots in a joint training environment. The exercise generated over 750 combat sorties which resulted in over 7,000 ready aircrew program training events accomplished by 164 fighter pilots.

In 2014, The CRTC Operations C e nte r w as re name d “ T he Ai r D o m i n a n c e C e nt e r ” b y C RT C personnel due to its ideal east coast location supporting over 33 fighter squadrons within 325 miles, proximity to high altitude supersonic overwater airspace, bed-down capability for over 40 fighter aircraft, and most importantly its 5th generation fighter mission planning and secure video debrief capability.

During 2014, the Cyber Training Center located at the Savannah CRTC continued its history of producing fully qualified cyber warriors to meet the emerging USAF cyber threat by adding ethical hacking and security plus courses to its curriculum. Also in 2014, three Active Duty Air Force Instructors joined the staff making the

Cyber Training Center a true total force organization, further validating its Air Education Training Command and Community College of the Air Force curriculum.

To w n s e n d B o m b i n g R a n g e continued forward with its $100 million United States Marine Corps-funded expansion in 2014. The project will increase the range from a current five thousand acres to over thirty-two thousand acres, making it the premier precision guided munitions (PGM) capable range in the southeast. The range facilitates close air support training missions between Joint Terminal Attack Coordinators on the ground and the pilots in the cockpit. After the range expansion is complete, Townsend Bombing Range will be the training range for F-35 Lighting II pilots, located at Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Combat Readiness Training Center



When ordered by the Adjutant General, the Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF) providesan organized, trained, disciplined, rapid-response, uniformed force. GSDF volunteers respond to needs and emergency situations as defined by the Adjutant Generaland the Governor, and assist local authorities where such missions do notconflict,asauthorizedundertheOfficialCodeofGeorgia,Title38.

In 2014, the Georgia Houseof Representatives honored the men and women of the Georgia State Defense Force with House Resolution 1266which recognizedthe efforts of State Defense Force volunteers, particularly the members Company A, 57th Schools and Training Battalion, 76th Brigade, Initial Entry Training and Military Entrance Processing Station.

The GSDF deployed as part of Georgia Governor Nathan Deal’s

preparation and response to the winter snow and ice emergencies. Almost 400 GSDF volunteers participated in annual training at the Georgia Air National Guard’s Combat Readiness Training Center in Savannah. Georgia State Defense Force members, along with units of the Georgia Air National Guard, performed a mass-casualty triage andtransportfieldtrainingexerciseto maintain readiness to respond to natural disasters. In 2014, theGSDF continued to run nationally recognized search and rescue coursesaswellasOfficerCandidateSchool,Warrant Officer CandidateSchool, Basic and Advanced NoncommissionedOfficerSchools,and numerous Military Entrance Processing Station and Initial Entry Training courses.

Other highlights for the organization in 2014 includeits support of the Georgia Army National Guard’s 1177th Transportation Company at their annual training; providing search and rescue support to local government emergency response efforts; participating in civil disturbance training with elements of the Georgia Army National Guard and participating in several opposition-force exercises in support of Georgia National Guard deployment at Clay National Guard Center in Marietta and Fort Stewart,

Ga. Prior-service veterans comprise

approximately 33 percent of the GSDF force. State Defense Force members act as a force-multiplier to the Ga. DoD, capable of immediate response whenever they may be needed, assisting with everything from search and rescue missions, to disaster relief efforts, to helping reunite redeploying Guardsmen with their families. When called upon, the GSDF volunteers also provide a variety of support functions for the Georgia National Guard including family support, legal assistance, medical and chaplaincy support, and technical assistance in a variety of other areas. The GSDF also performs defense support to civil authority missions such as evacuation and control during natural disasters, perimeter safety, and medical assistance at major public events.

The Georgia State Defense Force provides a wide variety of training and educational opportunities – from military operations to Community Emergency Response Team training for its own personnel as well as the personnel of the Georgia National Guard. The strong working relationship with the Georgia National Guard allows the GSDF to remain relevant and ready to serve the state and its citizens, now and long into the future.

The Georgia Department of Defense Joint Staff is responsible for the strategic management, leadership and direction of the Ga. DoD, which includes the Ga, Army National Guard, the Ga. Air National Guard, and the Ga. State Defense Force. The purpose of the Joint Staff is to provide the Adjutant General with time-sensitive intelligence and information relative to issues within Georgia, the United States, and the world. This information may come from National Guard Bureau, NorthernCommand(NORTHCOM)located in Colorado Springs, or other state or federal government agencies. Information collection and analysis is accomplished through the Joint Operations Center located at Clay National Guard Center, Marietta, Ga. Communications are

monitored 24 hours-a-day, sevendays-a-week by the JOC to receive and process all information relevant to the successful operation of the Georgia Department of Defense.

While the primary mission of the Joint Staff is to support Defense Support to Civil Authorities, homeland security, and homeland defense missions, it provides leadership in several other areas. The Joint Staff also has oversight of the Ga. DoD Joint Family Services Directorate, Strategic Management Office, and the State PartnershipProgram. The Joint Family Services Directorate is responsible for planning, developing, supervising and directing family programs for Georgia National Guard members and their families. This includes supporting families of all deployed military personnel – regardless of service component – during all levels of contingency and mobilization operations throughout the state. This directorate also advises the Adjutant General on matters relating to family readiness andqualityof life and isinstrumental in assisting service members seeking employment.

The Strategic Management OfficeadvisestheAdjutantGeneralon matters relating to organizational

self-improvement. This office usesseveral programs throughout the year such as the Army Performance Improvement Criteria, Army Communities of Excellence, the Malcom Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, and the Managers’ Internal Control Program tocontinuallyimprovetheefficiencyand effectiveness of business processes in the organization.

The State Partnership Program is a program that provides unique partnership capacitybuilding capabilities to combatant commanders and U.S. ambassadors through partnerships between U.S.

States, Territories and the District of Columbia and foreign countries. The SPP supports U.S. national interests and security cooperation goals by engaging partner nations via military, socio-political and economic conduits at the local, state and national level.

The state of Georgia’s state partner is the country of Georgia. This partnership observed its twenty year anniversary in 2014 and isone of the first SPP partnershipsestablished in the program. The Ga. DoD routinely conducts several training events in the State of Georgia and Country of Georgia throughout the year as part of the SPP mission.

The Georgia Department of Defense is always ready to provide support to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and the citizens of Georgia in the event of natural and/or manmade disasters. To achieve a high level of readiness, the Ga. DoD maintains relationships with state and local agencies, refines written plans and procedures, conducts and participates in exercises, and responds to actual emergency events.

There are numerous annual training events that help us stay at the forefront of emerging initiatives in emergency preparedness. In March 2014, Guardsmen participated inthe 2014 All Hazards CoordinationWorkshop in New Orleans, hosted by the Louisiana National Guard and National Guard Bureau. This conference allowed all domestic operations officers from the National Guard’s 54 states and territories to synchronize efforts in their plans, preparations and exercises in order to ensure the National Guard is always ready. The Ga. DoD also has representation at GEMA’s Emergency Managers Association Group meetings and their seasonal preparedness meetings at the State Operations Center.

At the Ga. DoD, we continually develop and refine our written emergency operations plans by conducting Joint Planning Group meetings with the Army, Air and Joint Staff bimonthly and by conducting exercises to validate our plans. We work with other agencies in order to share, discuss and conduct parallel planning for a unified response.

The most effective way to remain prepared for natural or manmade disasters is to conduct exercises. The Georgia Department of Defense participated in various emergency response exercises throughout

2014. We hosted The TechnologyAssociation of Georgia on the Governor’s declared Cyber Day in February. This event included a cyber-simulationwithover250participants.We also participated in the Chatham County Emergency Management Agency Annual Hurricane Workshop and GEMA’s May 2014 HurricaneExercise.

To further our cyber readiness, the Ga DoD participated in Cyber Guard hosted by the FBI in June and employed a new Cyber Protection Team. This exercise was staged out of multiple locations and Georgia Guardsmen traveled to FBI headquarters in Quantico, and TheArmy Cyber School of Excellence at Fort Gordon. The State JOC conducted an internal exercise during that event forconsequencemanagement.

In preparation for the GEMA led winter storm state-wide exercise, Ga. DoD conducted an organization-wide collective Winter Storm Joint OperationsCenter (JOC)Exercise inOctober.Over125Ga.DoDemployeeswere involved at the Army, Air, State Defense Force, Joint, State, and special staff levels. The joint planning group also conducted a Continuity Operations (COOP) at the CombatReadiness Training Center, Garden City, Ga. in December to prepare for off-site collaboration and refinement of preparedness plans. Additional preparation and collaboration was conducted with state and federal agencies such as FEMA and the Navy Response Task Force Southeast

During2014,theGa.DoDprovideddefense support to civil authorities for state emergencies. In January, during Winter Storm Leon, approximately 200 Guardsmen provided immediaterelief to suffering citizens stuck on roadways. Units that were activated reported to armories and began executing mission within two hours of notification. During the response, Guardsmen rescued children from 31 stranded school buses and transported them to safety. Guardsmen assisted almost 5,000 stranded vehicle drivers and completed approximately 300 vehicle recoveries. The Guard also provided food, water, and blankets to

stranded motorists and Georgia Guard armories served as warming shelters and staging areas for emergency and first responder activities.

Winter Storm Pax struck in February and a state declaration of emergency was issued ahead of the expected conditions. Approximately 640 Guardsmen responded to the Governor’s activation. Guardsmen delivered food and water and again opened armories to serve as warming stations and staging areas. The Guard’s vehicles, capable of traversing degraded roadways, made possible the transportation of critical care patients and workers and allowed Guardsmen to reach areas to remove debris in support of Georgia Power’s restoration efforts. The Guard also provided aviation support to the Governor’s office, and logistical assets for our interagency partners.

The 4th Civil Support Team, a unit of the 201st Regional SupportGroup conducted numerous standby missions in support of GBI/FBI and other law enforcement agencies for large-draw events throughout the state and supported U.S. Secret Service events for the Dalai Lama’s visit to Georgia and African Leader’s Summit in Washington, D.C.

The State Defense Force was activated for two search and rescue missions. Twenty five members responded to a missing person in Norcross in March. Twenty member’s responded within hours to Gilmer County’srequestinJuly.

The 116th Air Control Wing’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team was on standby for military munitions support in 2014 in support of theregional ordnance response plan.

Defense Support of Civil Authorities

The 22 personnel of the 4th Weapons of Mass Destruction- Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) provide support to civil authorities at domestic chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incident sites by identifying and assessing hazards. They also advise civil authorities and facilitate the arrival of fol low-on militar y forces during emergencies and incidents of WMD terrorism, intentional or unintentional release of CBRN materials, and natural or man-made disasters.

The 4th WMD-CST is comprised of full-time Army and Air National Guard personnel. The specialty vehicles organic to the WMD-CST include a command vehicle, operations trailer and a unified command vehicle which provides a broad spectrum of secure communications capabilities. Additionally, the team can deploy with an analytical laboratory system vehicle containing a full suite of analysis equipment to support the characterization

of the hazards. The 4th WMD-CST was one of the

first ten WMD-CSTs and was established and validated by the U.S. Department of Defense in October 2001. The 4th WMD-CST is extremely active in the community, consistently ranking in the top 5 most active teams in the nation, and 2014 was no different. In conjunction with numerous federal, state, and local interagency partners, the 4th WMD-CST worked diligently to help reduce WMD threat vulnerabilities in the state of Georgia.

The team was active across the state and region in 2014. The unit provided technical assistance for the U.S. Secret Service during a National Special Security Event, participated in the Defense Support of Civil Authorities mission for the Dalai Lama’s visit to Georgia and the African Leader’s Summit in Washington, D.C.

The 4th WMD-CST also provided technical support to numerous large scale public events. High-draw events such as the South Eastern Conference Football Championship, the NCAA Final Four tournament, the Peachtree Road Race, and numerous professional and collegiate sporting events received unit expertise.

The 4th WMD-CST also supported the Georgia National Fair, concerts, 4th of July activities across the Atlanta metro area, and the second largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the U.S. with over 400,000 visitors in the commercial port city of Savannah, Ga.

2014 was also a year dedicated to radiological response training for the 4th as the unit participated in a joint training exercise with the Coast Guard’s Gulf Strike Team in Mobile, Ala., focused on maritime transport of illicit radiological materials; and conducted joint nuclear response planning with federal and state agencies. Additionally, the unit participated in the Idaho National Laboratory’s Advanced Nu c l e a r / R a d i o l o g i c a l S e a rc h a n d Response Training Program, conducting TTP and standard operation procedure development with some of the highest strength radiological source materials available for training.

As we move into 2015, the 4th WMD-CST stands ready to deploy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist the State of Georgia and other Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV states.

The Georgia National Guard Counterdrug Task Force (CDTF) c on du c t s f u l l s p e c t r u m l aw enforcement support operations which bridge the gap between Department of Defense and civil authorities in the fight against il licit drugs and transnational threats to the homeland. The C D T F c o n t r i b u t e s m i l i t a r y support for local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and community based organizations in addition to their parent combatant commanders.

The CDTF’s mission is to reduce the supply and demand for illegal drugs by fostering relationships and partnering with law enforcement, community organizations, and school districts. The CDTF is comprised of over 40 members of both the Ga. Army National Guard and Ga. Air National Guard, who assist law enforcement agencies specifically through illegal narcotic and property seizure operations, marijuana eradication missions, i n for m at i on an a l y s i s , t re n d analysis, case support and anti-drug classroom instruction.

The CDTF assisted in the seizure of $304,113,139 worth of drugs, $21,697,508 in currency, $735,311 in property and $18,519,898 in aircraft seizures. Notably, in one

operation 1.6 metric tons of cocaine, valued over $55 million, was seized in a case worked by the CDTF in support of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP). The task force assisted LEAP with an additional major narcotics seizure totaling over $24 million.

Marijuana eradication efforts in FY 2014 resulted in the detection and destruction of over 16,461 plants valued in excess in $32.9 million.

The CDTF continues to perform as one of the most successful Counter Drug Task Forces in the country assisting in nearly $345 million in drug related seizures and arrest of 1,651 drug related suspects in FY 2014.

Counterdrug Task Force


The State Public Affairs Office fulfills the Georgia Department of Defense‘s obligation to engage the public, key stakeholders and the command in order to inform internal and external audiences. The public affairs office also provids va lue d communit y re l at ions services in order to set conditions for enhanced situational awareness of Ga. DoD activities, capabilities and to garner support for Ga. DoD strategic goals.

Recognized as a communication leader within the state of Georgia and DoD, the Publ ic Af fairs Office earned 2nd place in the annual U.S. Army Keith L. Ware awards competition in the digital publication category for their online Guardsman magazine. This achievement was accomplished by the entire staff section and is testament to the professionalism and talents of the team. Individual w r i t i ng a c c ol a d e s we re a l s o conferred on public affairs staff and imagery and video products developed by the public affairs office received international media release. Other products of note were the Youth Challenge Academy (YCA) video which earned recognition from the Public Relations Society of America and the STARBASE v i d e o w h i c h s h ow c a s e d t h e benefits of the Georgia Guard’s educational outreach effort. Both of these products enhanced the public’s knowledge of and garnered additional support for these valued Ga. DoD educational programs which assist our Georgia youth.

As a vital member of the Ga. DoD response to Winter Storms Leon and Pax, the State Public Affairs Office enhanced the Ga. DoD efforts via active media operations.

B y e m b e d d i n g n e w s m e d i a with units conducting response operations and an aggressive social media effort, the Ga. DoD was able to effectively demonstrate its response efforts to the Georgia public. Without a doubt, through the media operations efforts, our Georgia citizens indeed knew we were, “always ready, always there, always on target” during the winter storms.

With the ongoing sequestration and military budget cuts affecting the Ga. DoD’s ability to conduct operations, the State Public Affairs office concentrated on utilizing s o c i a l me di a and emb e dde d reporters to continue to tell the story of the Ga. DoD. Maximizing the outreach potential of social media, the Ga. DoD was able to effectively inform and influence the public and connect them to our service members. Securing media outlet interest, embedded reporters covered our overseas operations in training Guatemalan military forces as well as our aviation operations

a long t he s out hwest b order, demonstrating the nation-wide and global impact of the Ga. DoD.

In an effort to provide support back to our local communities, the State Public Affairs Community Outreach Program coordinated the support of more than 110 events for the year. Ensuring maximum accomplishment of community event support requests endeared Ga. DoD units to the local communities surrounding their armories. This outreach program continues to ensure our units are fully integrated i nt o t h e i r l o c a l c om mu n i t y and t here i s an es t abl i she d, mutually-beneficial, and enduring relationship.

The Georgia National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team was the first National Guard IBCT to execute missions under the regionally aligned forces program. The 48th IBCT worked with U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) and U.S. Army South, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras from January to September 2014. The purpose was to forge strong regional partnerships across the Americas by building the host nation’s military capacity to combat transnational criminal organizations and drug trafficking organizations.

Regionally aligned forces are

prepared to support combatant c o m m a n d s l i k e S O U T H C OM with mission-ready forces and capabilities. Regionally aligned forces also receive cultural, regional and language-focused training. Forces can be drawn from the Army, Army National Guard, Army Reserve and Department of the Army civilians in order to operate within the current Army budget.

The 48th IBCT Guardsmen trained their assigned host nation’s military forces in border control operations, command post operations and intelligence support operations.

The training was so successful in Guatemala that the governments of Guatemala and the United States funded an additional 75 days of training for the Guatemalan Inter-Agency Task Force composed of

both Guatemalan police and military servicemen designed specifically to combat drug trafficking organizations operating inside of Guatemala.

Guard Soldiers are uniquely qualified to partner with other nations due to their extensive civilian skill sets and military experiences they bring to the process. Georgia National Guard members represent the nation’s diversity and demographics and are the face of the military in their local community. Eighty-five percent of the National Guard serves part time in the military while working and living full time in almost every community around the state. Our partner nations gain from our Guardsmen’s military and civilian experiences, while our Guardsmen sustain their expeditionary mindset and broaden their professional experiences.

The Ga. Army National Guard has recognized for some time that our operational partnerships with other government agencies, as well as other private and public civilian organizations, are critical to improving our efforts to better assist the Governor of Georgia with the protection of our communities and infrastructure. The following Ga. Army National Guard operations over the past 24 months (and projecting to continue and expand upon in the future) demonstrate the cyber capabilities our organization currently provides benef it ing our joint , interagency and civilian partners for protecting critical infrastructure in the cyber domain:

G eorgia Industr y Cyber Table Top Exercise. In partnership with the Technology Association of Ga, the Ga. Guard hosted a region-wide Cyber table top exercise at its headquarters in February 2014. The Guard provided operations, signal, and intelligence personnel that assisted with planning and participated as

role players in the exercise. Partnered with local, state and federal law enforcement as well as commercial industry security partners from throughout the southeast to conduct simulated cyber incident response on a fictional logistics distribution company. In this capacity, the Guard provided signal and intelligence cyber experts as participants and role players for the exercise. A “notional” DoD cyber protection team was formed in order to advise and assist the chief information security officer of the logistics distribution company. The team liaised with state and federal law enforcement cyber response teams to provide them with digital evidence of the cyber attack.

Cy b e r S h i e l d 1 4 - 1 E x e rc i s e - Response to Cyber Incident on DoD Network. The exercise was conducted remotely from home station April 25, – May 4, 2014 at the Ga. Technology Research Institute (GTRI), Atlanta. The Ga. Guard assisted the National Guard Bureau operations in planning the cyber simulation range enclave(s). The Guard successfully executed remote cyber exercise operations from GTRI’s Secure Collaboration and Visualization Environment (SCoVE) and Conference Center. The results of the exercise validated remote cyber operations opportunities for the future collaborative cyber training events.

Cyber City Event - Fort Gordon, Ga., (June 2014): Ga. Guard cyber soldiers were selected and led the National Guard team at this event. Cyber City is a miniature model city that is used for training cyber warriors to protect and defend critical infrastructure. Cyber teams from each component of the Army (active, guard and reserve), Air Force and Navy participated in the event. The National Guard team performed exceptionally well and was honorably mentioned in a July 2014 Army Times article.

C y b e r G u a r d 1 4 - 1 E x e r c i s e - Response to Cyber Incident on Critical Infrastructure: The GA ARNG fielded a team consisting of 13 Soldiers and Airmen and state partners from Georgia Te ch nol o g y Aut hor i t y ( G TA ) and Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI). We exercised a flexible defense support of civil authorities response to critical infrastructure resources under a dual-status command, with augmentation from the Army Reserve Cyber Operations Group. GA ARNG was ranked within the top five teams present. Ga. also fielded two Soldiers for the military intelligence fusion cell led by the FBI, and supported the exercise with a twenty-soldier team that established and operated the Trojan Spirit/Mobile

Tactical Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (TSCIF).

Cyber Security


In 2014, the State Partnership Program (SPP) between Georgia and Georgia (GA-GEO) reached the milestone of its twenty year anniversary. Over the past twenty years, the partnership has witnessed many great strides by the Georgian Armed Forces, and the Country, toward their goal of NATO membership. The continued focus of the SPP is on the enduring civil military relationships in order to improve international security and build partnership capacity across all levels of society. In 2014, this was accomplished in several ways: efforts continued in the area of developing interagency disaster response and emergency management capability; initial efforts working toward a deployable military police capability; logistical operations focused at the battalion level and below; reestablishing rotary wing capabilities; Inspector General roles and responsibilities initial events. Additional efforts were in developing long-term care capability for wounded Soldiers and fostering economic development.

The country of Georgia is the largest non-NATO contributor of forces to International Security Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The Georgians will be the second largest provider of troops to Afghanistan in Resolute Support Mission. No one could have seen benefits of this nature during the inception of the Partnership for Peace or State Partnership Program, but this is the outcome that now drives the desire to expand the program to include more countries. The program now encompasses sixty-eight partnerships and there is talk of growing to possibly ninety-five over the coming years.

The disaster response/interagency development efforts in 2014 focused on a national level event. The event was a joint effort of the SPP the Georgia Army National Guard, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Center for Excellence (CFE) for disaster preparedness, the Georgian Armed Forces, Ministry of Internal Affairs of GEO and the Prime Minister’s National Crisis Management Council.

The SPP expanded efforts in new areas in 2014 by conducting its first interactions with the Military Police, Inspector General and Brigade Support Battalions. All the engagements will lead to future events as GAF continues to value our relationship and seeks

assistance in building their capacity and capability as a strategic partner.

The SPP also creates economic d e ve l opme nt and e nc ou r age s entrepreneurship in the country of Georgia. Georgian small businesses are routinely relied upon to provide interpretation, logistics, transportation and lodging ser v ices for SPP engagements. Many of the engagements are outside the capital city, bringing direct foreign investment to often overlooked and isolated areas of the country. This maximizes the return on investment by extending the depth and reach of U.S. security cooperation resources.

The SPP continues to be the affordable solution to long-term security cooperation. For 2015, the program will continue to build on past successes while vigilantly seeking out and exploring new opportunities to leverage U.S. strategy, develop partnerships, and enhance global security.

State Partnership Program with the Country of Georgia


The Georgia National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Academies add solid value to the state and to local communities. With locations at Fort Stewart in Hinesville and Fort Gordon in Augusta, YCA has received outstanding support from the governor and the state legislature since its inception. The value of the program is such that a third academy will soon be established in Milledgeville.

The program began in September 1993 and has since graduated more than 13,000 at-risk youth into the work force, the military or further educational efforts. This number is more impressive when one considers that it represents 10 percent of the total YCA graduates for the entire country and that Georgia was just the third state in the country to hit the 12,000 graduate mark.

The academies are designed for 16-18 year-olds who have dropped out of high school. Candidates who become residential cadets in the

program enter a challenging 22-week intensive general educational development preparation program, receive thorough training in military discipline and structure, receive understanding of the U.S. Constitution and civic responsibilities, complete service learning projects and a multitude of life skills classes.

Each academy campus is funded for a yearly target of 425 graduates. Each academy regularly exceeds its target of two classes each year, graduating four classes for a total of 850 graduates. The overall rate for obtaining a GED or for high school graduation is above 70 percent, a phenomenal rate given that each class is completely comprised of high school dropouts. This percentage is almost double what this age group is able to achieve outside of YCA.

More than 55 percent of YCA graduates go on to enter the work force. About 25 percent seek further education, and almost 20 percent enter some branch of military service. Georgia YCA graduates have attended

some prestigious schools including Emory University, The Citadel, The Law School of Charleston, Georgia State University; Georgia Southern University, East Georgia College, Georgia Military College, Paine College, Augusta Technical College, Savannah Technical College, and Brewton-Parker College among others.

Graduates have become pilots, t op n on - c om m i s s i on e d a n d commissioned officers in the military, and many entered law enforcement with one becoming a chief. The YCA has also produced a medical doctor and one attorney.

The added value to Georgia and local communities is threefold: Thousands of graduates go on to lead productive lives as participatory citizens. The value of the community service performed by YCA cadets in Georgia averages over half a million dollars per year. Finally, and most impressively, a cost analysis conducted by the Rand Corporation concluded for every dollar invested in the program, there was a return of two dollars and sixty cents.

Youth ChalleNGe Academy


Cadets of the Fort Stewart Georgia National Guard’s Youth Challenge Academy take to the field during the opening of the first Atlanta Falcons football game at the Georgia Dome.


The Georgia Department of Defense’s Peach State STARBASE program seeks to raise the interest and improve the knowledge and skills of at-risk youth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. This program exposes students and their teachers to real world applications of STEM disciplines through exper ient ia l l earning , simulations, and application exercises. The prog ram a l s o emphas izes real-world applications of group communications and cooperative

learning skills, while providing a dynamic learning environment to help motivate the students to stay in and engage further with their own schools.

Georgia’s STARBASE ser ves approximately 900 nine to eleven year old fifth graders annually, providing a fast paced course of instruction that results in quantifiable improvement in student STEM testing scores. Before participation in the program, students averaged 45 percent on a standardized STEM based test. After participation in Georgia’s STARBASE, a repeat of this same test shows that average student scores improved by more than 33 percentage points to a 79 percent

average score.A t S TA R B A S E , s t u d e n t s

participate in challenging “hands-on, minds-on” activities related to aviation and STEM careers. They interact with military personnel and see application of their academic studies in the real world at the Clay National Guard Center and Dobbins Air Reserve Base. This program provides students with 25 contact hours of stimulating instruct ional and inspirat ional experiences, and exposes participating s tu d e nt s to t h e t e ch n ol o g i c a l environments and positive role models found within the Georgia National Guard.

The 122nd Regiment Regional Training Institute (RTI) Center of Excellence is located on Clay National Gu ard C enter in Mar ie t t a and commanded by Col. Catherine Tait. The organization provides regionalized combat arms, leadership, military occupational specialty, additional skill identifier, noncommissioned officer education system and general studies training for the Army National Guard, United States Army Reserve and

the active component of the United States Department of Defense. The RTI conducted 56 different courses and over 13,934 training hours for military occupational skill and additional skill identifier training, which resulted in 1,176 graduates in fiscal year 2014. The RTI plans and programs training within its region based on requirements identified by the individual training branch, the Army program for individual training and

the training requirements arbitration plan. Ultimately the 122nd trains and educates the region’s all-volunteer forces in order to be technically current and tactically proficient as an expeditionary Army.

The RTI teaches Soldiers to op erate in a joint- interagenc y, intergovernmental and multinational environment and to conduct full spectrum operations in order to protect national security and national defense strategies domestically and abroad.

Since June 2010, the Georgia Language Training Center (Ga. LTC) has been recognized as the premier east coast facility for linguist training and pre-mobilization language and cultural training. This cost effective facility boasts four large classrooms equipped with full multimedia instructional systems, a well equipped language library, and a certified Army Personnel

Testing (APT) test site.As part of a national partnership

with the Defense Language Institute, the Ga. LTC’s pr imar y miss ion is to provide refresher courses to Guardsmen from across the nation, who learned a language as part of their military education. These courses enhance language proficiency and cultural awareness.

To support the need to deploy Soldiers that are knowledgeable in the language and culture of their deploy ment are a , t he Nat iona l Gu a r d p r ov i d e s l a n g u a g e a n d cultural awareness training (LCAT)

t o i n d i v i d u a l s a s p a r t o f t h e training received in preparation for mobilization. The Ga. LTC is responsible for providing the LCAT training to key leaders and identified Soldiers in an intensive two week training session at that Ga. LTC in languages that vary from Persian-Farsi to Albanian. To date the Ga. LTC has trained over 450 Soldiers in preparation for overseas deployment.

The Ga. LTC serves as a unique asset to the region and the nation as it is the only language training center on the east coast and the first of its kind for the National Guard.

Georgia Military College (GMC) is an accredited, liberal arts junior college open to high school graduates who are determined to earn a college degree. GMC serves students, with campuses located in Milledgeville, Augusta, Columbus, Fairburn, Madison, Warner Robins, Stone Mountain, Sandersville

and Valdosta. GMC also offers online programs.

Students interested in the Corps of Cadets in Milledgeville may compete for one of 42 State Service Scholarships offered annually to Georgia Air or Army Guardsmen. This fu l l scholarship is valued at over $22,000 each year. GMC is one of only five

schools in the nation to offer the Early Commissioning Program that leads to a commission as a second lieutenant in two years. Enlisted Guardsmen may participate in the Simultaneous Membership Program while attending G MC . Q u a l i f i e d s tu d e nt s m ay receive an ROTC Scholarship that covers tuition and books. Federal Tuition Assistance and Veterans Administration benefits are accepted.

National Guardsmen support and defend not only the Constitution of the United States, but also that of individual States. Therefore, as members of the National Guard, Georgia Guardsmen are also members of the “Reserve Components.” Guardsmen may qualify for numerous federal education benefits – some of which are unique to the Ga. ARNG while others come as part of being a member of the Reserve Components team. Guardsmen, their family members,

and their employees are eligible for a variety of Federal Education benefits to assist in the pursuit of higher education objectives.

Soldiers of the Georgia Guard have a variety of resources to pay for higher education. Upon enlistment, all Guardsmen qualify for the Federal Tuition Assistance program which covers up to 100 percent of tuition and certain mandatory fees (capped at $4,500 per fiscal year) for accredited courses at colleges, universities, trade, or secondary schools.

These funds are paid on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application and a proactive attitude is vital. Some Guardsmen are also eligible for Veterans Administration benefits like the Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve, or Post 9/11 GI Bill. These funds are in addition to FTA, and can go toward paying for school essentials like books, fees, and housing. HERO scholarships are available for those Guardsmen who have deployed to combat zones, or the children of those Guardsmen. These scholarships can cover up to $2,000 per academic year, capped at $8,000.

The University of North Georgia (UNG) was created through the recent consolidation of North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College.

With four campuses - in Cumming, Dahlonega, Gainesville and Oconee County - and a student population of aproximately 16,000 students, UNG is the seventh-largest public university in Georgia.

As a state designated leadership

institution and The Military College of Georgia, it is one of only six senior military colleges in the United States and its Corps of Cadets numbers more than 750 students. UNG offers more than 100 programs of study, and has many benefits for the Georgia Guardsmen on its campuses. Georgia Military scholarships are awarded to 42 Georgia Army Guardsmen every year, offering a four-year scholarship including tuition, fees, books, meals and housing. North Georgia also continues to improve its strategic language program offering languages such as Russian, Chinese and Korean,

among many other languages and romance languages, as academic majors or specialties.

The school’s Guard Partnership Program allows enlisted Georgia Guardsmen to serve as ROTC cadets while still drilling with their National Guard units. Members of the program are simultaneous membership program cadets, and receive extra benefits, like an additional monthly stipend and elevated drill pay. Other programs like Federal Tuition Assistance, Veterans Administration benefits, and ROTC grants may also be available for those who qualify.

Educational Opportunitiesfor Guardsmen

Before there were United States, even before there were 13 colonies, there was the foundation of a National Guard on this continent. In the early 17th century, colonial life was hardscrabble. In addition to the constant threat of the elements, disease and starvation, early colonists faced danger from French incursions from the north and west, Spanish conquest fromthe south and competition for land and resources with indigenous peoples.

Security forces were needed but, there were neither the funds nor manpower resources available to create a full-time military force to protect the fledgling civilianpopulation. While England maintained a professional army, that force’s base of operations was more than 3,000 miles across the AtlanticOceanandwasinsufficientto defend the expanding colonies.

To resolve the problem, the Massachusetts legislature ordered the establishment of militia companies to serve in three regiments in the towns around Boston. These militia companies were composed of citizens who would make themselves available as a ready response force. The concept of the Citizen Soldier as an

economical alternative to a standing army began with that declaration on December 13, 1636, a concept that has equal

relevance in the era of persistent conflict.

Nearly a century would pass before Lord James Oglethorpe and a party of colonists sailed up the Savannah River to form the colony of Georgia. Oglethorpe was well familiar with the utility of the Citizen-Soldier, and would move swiftly to establish and train the Georgia Militia. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Georgia National Guard was founded with thefirstEnglishfootfallsuponthewest bank of the Savannah River.

The reasons for Georgia’s founding as a colony were strategic as well as economic. The colony served as a bulwark between the colonies to the north and Spanish and French interests to the south and west. Oglethorpe appreciated the need for a trained militia force and upon arriving in Savannah in 1732 he initiated the first musterof Georgia’s Citizen-Soldiers. Oglethorpe’s actions would prove prescientwhen,in1742,aSpanishforce sailed from St. Augustine Florida to St. Simons Island with a forceofmorethan2,000troops.Tomeet the coming threat, Oglethorpe had at his disposal regulars of the 42nd Regiment and the ScotHighlanders to bolster the ranks of his militia forces and indigenous volunteers.

On July 7, 1742, Oglethorpe’sscouts sighted an isolated element of Spanish troops near Gully Hole Creek. Oglethorpe personally led an assault that inflicted 30%percent casualties on the Spanish, including their entire officercorps. In response, the Spanish landed 200 elite grenadiers who

proceeded to march inland in a column formation. As they reached a marsh bordered by dense woods, thegrenadierstookvolleyfirefromOglethorpe’s forces. Concealed by trees and gun smoke, Oglethorpe’s small force routed the numerically superior Spanish at Bloody Marsh. Stungbythetwoquickripostes,theSpanish withdrew from St. Simons and would not again seriously contend for Georgian soil.

Since the rattle of muskets echoed over that marsh on Saint Simons Island, the Georgia National Guard has been a ready and relevant presence in all of our nation’s conflicts. From theAmerican Revolution and the War of 1812 to the great shattering ofthe American Civil War, volunteer militia units formed the backbone ofournation’sfightingforce.Inthe20thand21stcenturies,theGeorgiaGuard has played an increasingly pivotal role on the international stage while maintaining a vital state-side mission.

From the era of the smoothbore musket, to the age of Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar Systems, the Guard’s capabilities have increased but our key value remains the same. Like those Citizen-Soldiers of old who had one hand on the plow and one on the musket, our Citizen-Soldiers and Airmen live and work in our communities and are always prepared to leave home and hearth to protect that which we value.
