2018 Annual Report

Always Ready. Always There.

Letter From Leadership THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF GEORGIA

MAJ. GEN. JOE JARRARD It is my privilege to present to you the 2018 Georgia Department of Defense Annual Report. This report highlights the numerous accomplishments of the more than 14,000 men and women of the Georgia Army National Guard, Air National Guard, State Defense Force, and State and Federal Employees who serve this great state and nation at home and abroad.

The Georgia Department of Defense continues to maintain exceptionally high standards in readiness while serving locally and globally. The Georgia DoD consistently excels during domestic operations. In 2018, over 1,000 members of the Army and Air National Guard and State Defense Force responded to assist several counties across the state which were impacted by Hurricanes Florence and Michael. During these events, Georgia National Guardsmen helped two individuals escape potentially life-threatening situations.

Additionally, Guardsmen and State Defense Force personnel assisted with the distribution of nearly one million gallons of water, over one million meals, provided communications support, and route clearance.

In May, the 165th Air Wing led an Innovative Readiness Training event which provided medical assistance to almost 8,000 individuals across four locations in the Savannah area. This national event incorporated personnel from all branches of the service representing numerous states. At the conclusion of the month, nearly 150 Airmen

assisted local emergency personnel with the Puerto Rican C-130 crash in Chatham County. In December, the 116th Air Control Wing led a Major Accident Response Exercise at the Perry Guardian Center which provided extensive realistic accident training and preparedness.

The 170th Cyber Protection Team returned after a year of support at Fort Meade. This mission, in support of U. S. Army Cyber Command, highlights the significant role the Georgia National Guard plays in cyber protection. The Department of Defense recognizes the capabilities and expert skills of the Georgia Cyber Protection Team.

Globally, the Georgia National Guard continues to deploy around the world wherever needed in support of our Combatant Commands.

Over 90 members of the 1-169th General Support Aviation Battalion and 935th Aviation Support Battalion are currently deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Spartan Shield. 80 members of the 201st Regional Support Group are deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. Additionally, the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team completed a combat training rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, Louisiana in preparation for their deployment to Afghanistan. Over 2,000 members of the 48th will leave their homes in January 2019 for the brigade’s fourth combat deployment since 9/11.

The Georgia National Guard continued to strengthen their state partnerships with the countries of Georgia and Argentina. Now in our 24th year with the country of Georgia, we participated in numerous events, meetings, and exercises with Georgia culminating during U. S. Army Europe’s Exercise Noble Partner 18. 200 Georgia Guardsmen participated in this exercise which included five of our UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. In December, the 165th Airlift Wing provided assistance to Argentina as they celebrated their 50th anniversary of the Argentine Air Force C-130.

The members of the Georgia Department of Defense continue to set the standard for support to our state and nation. When the War on Terrorism began almost 20 years ago, 1,200 members of the Georgia National Guard were actively deployed. Since then, Georgia Guardsmen have been deployed continually somewhere around the globe. Today, your National Guard stands prepared to serve wherever they are needed because the Georgia National Guard is “Always Ready, Always There”.

Sincerely,

The Adjutant General of Georgia Maj. Gen. Joe Jarrard

2018 Annual Report | 8

With more than 14,000 members and a Georgia economic impact of $853 million, the Georgia Department of Defense is a booming and prosperous business. We orchestrate continuous process improvements by using The Baldrige Business Model as our e nt e r p r i s e b u s i n e s s m a n a g e m e nt process. By using this business improvement process and employing constant reviews of our goals, objectives, a n d m e t r i c s , w e h av e d e v e l o p e d a business c u lture commensurate with prosperous corporations and conglomerates. Our operational business

fiscal committees and councils. Our program budget advisory committee and our financial management boards monitor our annual funding levels and promote spending in alignment with our strategic goals. We also have financial accountability redundancy via our State of Georgia - Financial Management Division; this division ensures funding received from the State of Georgia is properly accounted for and distributed. For every one dollar the Ga. DoD receives from state government the federal government provides $43 dollars; and, our financials are constantly

are communicated throughout our workforce via intra/internet solutions, published orders, policies, information papers and open forums. We also h av e w e e k l y, m ont h l y, qu ar t e r l y, and bi-annual meetings and boards to ensure we are progressing in a positive direction. Routine checks by leadership and our management teams ensure that guidance and directives are communicated throughout our enterprise, understood, and executed by our entire workforce. Bottom-up communication from employees to our leaders and management teams is

model establishes our focus on the needs of our customers, enabling us to improve our business operations, explore opportunities for partnerships and better serve our workforce. This business model allows us to not only remain competitive, but recognizes the Georgia Guard as an industry leader in providing the service of ready military forces.

The Ga. DoD competes annually for resources and funding with 53 other states and U.S. territories. Since 2001, the Ga. DoD has been recognized as one of the top business performers earning over 17 nationally recognized excellence awards and winning the Army’s top award for excellence in 2013.

Our business model begins with internal annual assessments of our operating processes followed by external government agency audits. Internal assessments are conducted by our program managers, senior leaders, inhouse auditors and our governance management team, i.e., our Inspector General, Judge Advocate General, and Internal Review Division. Operational management accountability is regulated through aggressive internal management control processes as mandated by the Federal Manager’s Integrity Act of 1982. Fiscal accountability is managed by our federally appointed, Active Army U.S. Property and Fiscal Officer and is achieved through numerous

audited for regulator y compliance.

Noted discrepancies are immediately and aggressively investigated.

Our senior leadership team reviews our assessments quarterly dur ing our st rateg ic management board process. Current organization performance is reviewed and areas for improvement are identified. During t he st r ate g i c m an age me nt b o ard, senior leaders use a formal strategic planning process to determine current organization performance, refine our business direction, re-evaluate and set our mission, vision and values. The board also ensures our organization is postured to meet the expectations of our customers.

From the strategic planning process we develop our strategic management plan and communicate it throughout the workforce; subsequently, leaders and management teams develop action and implementation plans using a five-year strategic planning cycle. We communicate regularly with customers through various forums and surveys to ensure we are meeting and exceeding t heir exp e c t at i ons . Fe e db ack and assessments from our customer and stakeholder engagements are assessed during our strategic planning processes.

C ommunication is extremely i mp o r t a nt i n o u r b u s i n e s s . O u r strategic priorities, goals and objectives

encouraged and provides feedback that provides opportunity to promote change in our business operations and the management of our workforce.

Overall performance of our business practices is assured through t he ag g ressive monitor ing of ke y performance indicators. These indicators provide early identification of our ability to deliver services and to meet and exceed customer expectations. Reviews and evaluations of performance are conducted by program managers and process improvement teams that, in turn, make adjustments to programs and processes not meeting expectations.

W h e n p e r f o r m a n c e e x p e c t at i o n s fall short, new processes are quickly identified and implemented to sustain quality service to our customers.

The Ga. DoD business process model is a continuous business cycle that allows us an integrated approach to organization performance management.

Ass e ss m e nt s of p e r for m an c e an d customer expectations found in our business model allows us to deliver s olid value to our customers and stakeholders. Our business processes ensure our organizational effectiveness, sustainability, and capabilities fully support our Governor’s strategic goal of a more responsible and efficient government that is fiscally sound, principled, and conservative.

Brig. Gen. Randall Simmons Jr. Assistant Adjutant General - Army With more than 11,000 Citizen Soldiers training in hometown armories and readiness centers across the state, Georgia’s Army National Guard is the eighth largest in the nation. Comprised of combat, combat support and combat service support units, the mission of the Ga. ARNG is to provide well trained and motivated forces to the governor and combatant commanders in order to support unified land operations and to render assistance to the citizens of Georgia during emergency operations.

The Ga. ARNG is organized into five major subordinate commands: the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team in Macon, 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 the Clay National Guard Center in Marietta.

Georgia Guard Soldiers from all five of Georgia’s brigades were deployed across the

globe in 2018. Among those deployed were the aviators of the 1-169th General Support Aviation Battalion and 935th Aviation Support Battalion, who mobilized in support of Operation Spartan Shield in June. The following month, more than 80 Soldiers of the 201st Regional Support Group deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.

Returning from overseas missions were the 124th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment and Soldiers of the 221st Expeditionary Military Intelligence Battalion who had supported missions at Joint Task Force Guantanamo in Cuba. Two of the Ga. ARNG’s newest units, the 3rd Infantry Division Main Command Post Operational Detachment and 648th Military Engagement Team, returned from missions in the Central Command area of operations. The 170th Cyber Protection Team returned from a 12-month deployment in support of Cyber Command. As this annual report is going to press, the 161st Military History Detachment is preparing for its second overseas deployment, while more than 2,000 Soldiers of the Macon-based 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team are in final preparations for deployment to Afghanistan – the brigade’s fourth overseas deployment since September 11, 2001.

2018 continued the trend of innovative and intense training for GA. ARNG units. The 48th IBCT completed a rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, La. Aviators of the 1st Battalion, 171st Aviation Regiment supported Exercise Noble Partner in Vaziani, Country of Georgia, along with soldiers of the 124th MPAD. The Georgia Army National Guard’s ability to render assistance during domestic emergencies was demonstrated for the third consecutive year in 2018. In October,

Command Sgt. Maj. Shawn Lewis State Command Sergeant Major nearly 900 Georgia Guard Soldiers from 38 units across the state responded following Hurricane Michael. As they did following Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017, Georgia Guardsmen performed debris clearance missions, distributed relief supplies and supplemented local law enforcement on public safety missions.

In 2018, the Georgia Army National Guard commemorated a century of overseas service. Representatives of the Ga. ARNG participated in commemorations of the World War I centennial in France in July ,and walked in the footsteps of the 151st Machine Gun Battalion, a unit comprised largely of Georgia National Guard Soldiers.

In 2019, the Georgia Guard begins its second century in support of overseas missions. As we approach the New Year, the Georgia Army National Guard is better trained, better equipped and better able to serve the citizens of Georgia and the United States than ever before.

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 648th MEB consists of the 878th Engineer Battalion, headquar tered in Augusta; the 348th Brigade Support Battalion, headquartered in Ellenwood; the 1-214th Field Artillery Battalion, headquartered in Elberton; 3rd Infantry Division Main Command Post Operational Detachment (MCPOD), stationed at Fort Stewart; and the 420th Network Signal Company, stationed in Cumming.

In 2018, the MEB once again demonstrated its proficiency at defense support of civil authorities operations, serving as the joint task force headquarters for almost 1,000 Georgia Army National Guard personnel called to state active duty in support of Hurricane Michael response efforts in southern Georgia counties.

The MEB and its attached units performed a wide range of operations including clearance of debris from roadways, distribution of essential relief supplies through point of distribution operations, conducting presence patrols with local law enforcement agencies, and securing vulnerable facilities.

The 3rd ID MCPOD returned in April 2018 from a highly successful deployment with the 3rd ID Division Headquarters in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel in Afghanistan

MAJ. Gen. Jesse Simmons Assistant Adjutant General - Air This past year, the Georgia Air National Guard has successfully executed both our state and federal missions by employing top-tier Airmen from two wings and seven geographically separated units to lessen the effects of natural and man-made disasters on our citizens and protect our nation across the full spectrum of conflict.

We sent specialized capabilities across the state and nation as directed by the governor, and simultaneously employed forces and aircraft worldwide for the U.S. Department of Defense. In total, 800 Airmen assisted stateside and deployed overseas to every geographic combatant command in support of ongoing and evolving missions.

Additionally, the Georgia Air National Guard achieved 100 percent end strength in 2018, meeting recruiting and retention initiatives for the year.

deployed aircraft and personnel in all combatant commands for the past 17 years. JSTARS capabilities include battle management, command and control, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance executed by highly-specialized total-force aircrew.

The 165th Airlift Wing based in Savannah, flies the C-130 Hercules aircraft capable of operating from rough dirt strips and is the prime transport for air dropping troops and equipment into hostile and austere locations. Hundreds of Airmen from the 165th AW have engaged in 13 major deployments since 2001.

Answering the call of our state mission, the governor called on hundreds of Georgia Air National Guardsmen to respond when Hurricanes Florence and Michael passed through Georgia and surrounding areas.

Airmen assisted civil authorities with road clearing, distribution of food and water, preparation of food for those in need, critical communications capabilities for emergency managers and assurance of other life-saving and critical resources. The E-8C JSTARS also facilitated interagency communications. In total, Georgia Air National Guard members assisted in more than eight Georgia counties and in Bay County, Florida.

Participation in state-side exercises and innovative training events kept our skills and partnerships current for worldwide responses. Operation ‘Empower Health’ was a military/community event which provided free medical and veterinary services to nearly 8,000 citizens and 1,300 animals in underserved populations within the Savannah area. Together, the Georgia ANG, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and Reserves accrued more than 20,000 training hours from the Innovative Readiness Training event.

116th AIR CONTROL WING

Col. Ato Crumbly Commander The 116th ACW maintains and flies the E-8C, Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) which is an airborne battle management, command and control (C2), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platform (ISR). Its primary mission is to provide theater commanders with surveillance over land or water to support attack operations and targeting contributing to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces. In addition, the wing has many capabilities ready to support domestic operations (DOMOPS) in the event of

man-made or natural disasters.

The 116th ACW heritage can be traced to Mitchell Field, N.Y., where it was formed on Sept. 28, 1942, as the 116th Bomb Wing. It was aligned under the Georgia National Guard in 1946 where it has been assigned several missions throughout the years. On Oct. 1, 2002, the 116th ACW stood up as the first organization in the U.S. Air Force to activate under the Total Force Initiative as America’s first ‘Total Force’ wing.

Since 9/11, JSTARS personnel have been continuously deployed around the world achieving more than 120,000 combat flying hours.

In 2018, over 500 Airmen from the 116th ACW deployed to provide combat airpower to six combatant commanders in support of operations around the globe.

Supporting the Georgia DoD DOMOPS mission after two hurricanes struck the southeastern U.S., the 116th ACW provided route clearing teams, securi ty personnel, a disaster relief mobile kitchen to feed victims in need and flew missions providing command and control over affected areas. In addition, the 116th ACW was awarded it 21st Air Force Outstanding Unit Award; more than any other U.S. Air Force organization in history.

The 116th ACW will continue to

Chief Master Sgt. Michael Bugay Command Chief Master Sergeant provide combatant commanders with premier C2/ISR capability and continue to assist the citizens of our state and country with support when requested. In FY 19, the 116th ACW will deploy while simultaneously providing support for several large force exercises around the world, meeting the intent of the FY 19 National Defense Authorization Act. This constant cycle of training and deployment keeps 116th ACW Airmen proficient and highly skilled to perform wartime and DOMOPS missions.

Combat REadiness Training Center “We are Air Dominance.” The Latin translation of the unit’s official emblem, is worn proudly on the uniforms of the Airmen, state employees and contractors serving America’s combat aviation forces at the nation’s premier fighter integration training center.

The Air Dominance Center, one of the nation’s four Air National Guard combat readiness training centers, continues to draw thousands annually to its vast, fully instrumented airspace, supportive facilities and quarterly large force exercises attended by combat aviation units from all the services and components.

A cost ef fective approach to combat readiness, the ADC provides attending units with nearly all elements of aircraft sustainment and support, reducing transportation costs of equipment and bed-down of personnel by providing lodging and dining for up to eight hundred personnel.

The primary customers and focused effort of the ADC targets support to the two dozen Air National Guard combat aviation wings from across the country employing the F-16, F-15 and F-22 fighter aircraft. They are drawn to Savannah, often annually, to take advantage of the largest military airspace on the east coast, equipped with the latest tracking technologies, allowing real-time viewing and scenario play-back for detailed debriefing of the air battle. That large “play area” allows America’s most modern aviation assets to train as they would fight, in a densely populated air defense environment, rich with adversary aircraft. Today’s fighter pilots, in order to prepare against a near-peer foe, must be presented with

complex scenarios demonstrating a high count of competing aircraft. The vast airspace outside Savannah and the large ramp at the ADC affords “airto-air fights” that will often see three dozen aircraft coordinating an element

Col. Emmanuel Haldopoulos Commander of combat training meant to better our Airmen against highly capable air defenses. The high aircraft counts are a guarantee during the quarterly large force exercises sponsored by the ADC as coastal Georgia resides in the epicenter of the highest count of Defense Department fighter units on the globe. Nearly 50 percent of all combat aviation units are within 400 miles of Savannah. When not playing host to aviation units from across the country, the ADC supports customers seeking world class conferencing capabilities. In 2018, eight national level conferences, each supporting

@AirDominanceCenter 25 | Georgia Department of Defense

over 250 personnel, were attended by representatives of core functional areas from across the services and components.

Highlights of the 2018 calendar year at the ADC include the solidifying of two very important customers as long time partners. The US Navy’s Strike Fighter Squadrons from Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach have consistently integrated their F-18 aircraft into the hosted exercises in recent years. This partnership has created plans in fiscal year 2019 to coordinate training efforts of the ADC’s customers with the US Navy’s carrier strike group training requirements ahead of worldwide deployment. Using the waters below the ADC’s airspace, the Navy’s intensive, month-long predeployment work up cycle is designed to fully integrate ships and aviation units of a carrier strike group while testing the team’s ability as a whole to carry out sustained combat operations at sea. Additionally, the USAF’s Air Combat Command has announced expansion plans supporting added students and courseware at the Air Dominance Center’s Cyber Training Center, hosting Air Force combat communications specialists from around the globe during month long training sessions. Together with these advancing partnerships and continued and recognized excellence in aviation training support, the ADC has executed its mission of providing effective force integration in a distinctive cross domain venue that ensures Global Air Dominance.

The 165th AW led an Innovative Readiness Training event providing medical services to more than 30,000 residents in Chatham County and over 143 Georgia ANG Airmen assisted local authorities after the Puerto Rican WC-130 aircraft accident in the same county. Mishap lessons learned helped provide realistic scenarios during the 116th ACW’s large scale Major Accident Response Exercise (MARE) in Houston County.

As a force-multiplying addition to the Ga. DoD, the Georgia State Defense Force trained its members in route clearance and established numerous chainsaw teams. The SDF also taught in search and rescue operations with Georgia DoD state interagency partners. The SDF provides an additional augmentation force for the Georgia DoD and invaluable support to the state in a voluntary status. During the hurricanes, the SDF augmented the Joint staff, provided relief supply point of distribution operators, supported evacuation shelters, route clearance teams and liaison support to county EMAs. Conducting realistic, strenuous training exercises prepares the Ga. DoD for both natural and humanmade disasters. We participated in

numerous activities this year including GEMA’s winter exercise and Incident Management Team Exercise, University of North Georgia’s Military Cyber War Game, the 116th ACW’s MARE, and GEMA’s Communications Exercise. The Georgia Domestic Operations Section hosted NORTHCOM’s Joint Staff Training Course and several members attended the Emergency Management Assistance Compact course, and King’s Bay Nuclear Response Incident training.

Finally, the Georgia DoD’s partnerships continue to be invaluable to the success and synchronization of efforts shared between GEMA’s Emergency Managers, the National Guard’s 54 states and territories, and local agencies. Interacting with our local, state, and federal partners provide the Ga. DoD the opportunity to share the DoD’s capabilities with the needs of our customers. We expanded our partnerships by working with inland county EMA Directors to better define their requirements. The DoD also conducted numerous meetings with our state and federal partners. The continuous communication and interagency interaction these meetings provided ensured the Ga. DOD was ready to offer an immediate and seamless response to the state’s emergencies.

Defense Support of Civil Authorities

The Georgia Department of Defense’s Domestic Operations supported the state with the deployment of over 1,000 Army and Air Guardsmen as well as the State Defense Force in response to multiple weather-related events. The Georgia DoD responded to more than 65 requests for assistance from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. During Hurricanes Michael and Florence, the Georgia DoD distributed over 3.5 million liters of water, 1.1 million meals, 2.2 million pounds of ice, and 90,000 tarps from 11 points of distribution. The Georgia DoD’s hurricane response also included support of our county Emergency Management Agency (EMA) directors and other state agencies to support local law enforcement, provide route clearance teams, power generation, field feeding support, fuel support, supporting relief supply and distribution and shelter support operations. The Georgia DoD assisted the state of South Carolina with Army aviation platforms and crews in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence and deployed to the southwest border to support Texas with its border patrol mission requirements.

Guardsmen from both the 116th Air Control Wing (ACW) and the 165th Airlift Wing (AW) were some of the first called to State Active Duty for Hurricane Michael. Airmen provided

3rd Infantry division Mcpod

The 3rd Infantry Division Main Command Post Operational Detachment, or Marne Detachment, is a unique multi-component operations company in the division higher headquarters battalion that integrates into the 3rd Infantry Division Headquarters. The Marne Detachment officially activated during a ceremony at Fort Stewart, Ga. on Saturday, August 20, 2016. The Marne Detachment is one of ten Reserve Component MCPODs (nine National Guard and one Reserve) designated for alignment with an Active division. The current detachment commander, Lt. Col. John Cole, assumed command in Oct. 2018, and the detachment 1st Sgt., Jason Bentley, assumed responsibility in 2017.

The Marne Detachment has an authorized strength of 96 Soldiers and provides critical support in an Army force structure that reduced the current active duty division staff manning. The Marne Detachment, is organized into 42 sections and is comprised of 91 Georgia Army National Guard Soldiers and five Soldiers that it receives from the Army Reserve, for a total strength of 96 Citizen-Sol-

diers that work along, beside and with the active component in the division headquarters. The unit is located at Fort Stewart on the Georgia Garrison Training Center. This serves both units with the ability to integrate training and improve overall readiness relationships as a partnering force.

The Marne Detachment returned in Apr. 2018 from a deployment with the 3rd ID Division Headquarters in support of Operation Freedom Sentinel in Afghanistan and Qatar. The MCPOD was led during the deployment by Lt. Col. Shawn Workman who relinquished command to Lt. Col. John Cole following redeployment in an Oct. 2018 change of command ceremony. In theater, the Marne Detachment personnel were not a contiguous unit but instead were fully integrated throughout the various staff sections within the division headquarters. While deployed, there was no delineation between Active and Reserve component Soldiers in the execution of their assigned missions, the embodiment of the “one Army� concept espoused by the Army Chief of Staff, General Mark A. Mil-

ley. The MCPOD Soldiers completed demobilization at Fort Stewart, Ga., reunited with their families and have reintegrated into their civilian lives.

The Marne Detachment is assigned to the Georgia Army National Guard’s 648th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade. The 648th MEB also serves as the Maneuver Enhancement Brigade partner to 3rd ID and participates in planning and training events with the division. While the Marne Detachment is administratively assigned to the 648th MEB, the 3rd ID has operational control over the unit during combined training events and deployments and shapes the overall mission, staffing and collective training. Since its activation, the unit has deployed with the division headquarters, participated in command post exercises and multiple warfighter exercises with the 3rd ID to further develop the partnership at the section level. This alignment and deliberate force utilization has already increased the ability of both organizations to develop collective training and integrate forces of multi-component partnerships.

Local interagency partners, worked diligently to help reduce WMD threat vulnerabilities in the State of Georgia.

In FY 18 the team was active across the entire state and region; providing field testing and training to partner agencies, collaborating with local authorities in the Plant Hatch exercise, providing knowledge and expertise to the Health Department and Georgia Public Health Labs (GPHL), and providing hazard sweep teams for high profile events. Additionally they have an ongoing mission supporting the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service with screening overseas U.S. Embassy’s mail in conjunction with the Center for Disease Control and GPHL. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has also requested CST assistance on multiple occasions at Hartsfield International Airport and the Port of Savannah.

Subject matter expert support was provided for numerous large scale public events considered to have a high target value based upon threat levels, critical infrastructure, or attendance levels. These events were comprised of high-draw sporting activities including the 2018 PGA Masters Tournament, the NCAA National Champion-

ship, partnering with over 30 different county’s agencies. The team provided support to the Peachtree Road Race, NASCAR weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and professional and collegiate games including the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, and Georgia Tech. The 4th WMD-CST also supported the Georgia National Fair, 4th of July activities across the Metro area, and assisted Minnesota with Super Bowl 52.

The team also provided CBRN response coverage, over the last three FY’s, for Operation Shrimp N Grits, a United States Coast Guard operation with over 50 different agencies. The 4th WMD-CST has conducted operations with DoE, Savannah River Site, RAP4, RAP6, INL, OST, GA DNR Radiation Control, ECBC, and many more. Our primary goal is to build upon the interagency relationships we have had the privilege to establish throughout the existence of the 4th WMD-CST. As we move into 2019, 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.

4th Civil Support Team

The 4th Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team (WMDCST) is a full-time Army National Guard unit, comprised of 22, Army and Air Force, AGR personnel, that provide support to civil authorities at domestic chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incident sites by offering hazard identification and assessments. They advise civil authorities and facilitate the arrival of follow-on military forces during emergencies and incidents of WMD terrorism, intentional/unintentional release of CBRN materials, and natural or man-made disasters that result in, or could result in, catastrophic loss of life or property.

The 4th WMD-CST complements and enhances, but does not duplicate, state CBRN response capabilities.

The 4th WMD-CST was one of the first ten WMD-CSTs and was originally established and validated by the U.S. Department of Defense in Oct. 2001. The 4th WMD-CST is extremely active in the community, consistently ranking in the Top 10 Most Active Teams in the Nation, and Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 was no different.

Counterdrug Task Force

The Georgia National Guard Counterdrug Task Force is led by Lt. Col. James L. McNair, III and his senior enlisted advisor, Senior Master Sgt. James C. Miller.

The GaNG CDTF mission is to assist in the reduction of the supply and demand for illegal drugs by fostering relationships and partnering with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies (LEA), and community based organizations. The GaNG CDTF provides these agencies and organizations a full range of operational support services in the detection, interdiction, disruption, and curtailment of drug trafficking activities and transnational criminal organizations through the application of unique military skills, resources, and capabilities. Several unique military abilities the GaNG CDTF provides includes illegal narcotic surveillance, seizure operations, marijuana eradication missions, information analysis, pattern

of life analysis, criminal case support analysis, and aerial reconnaissance.

The GaNG CDTF is comprised of 32 members from both the Georgia Army National Guard and Georgia Air National Guard. These Soldiers and Airmen are committed to providing professional and cost-effective enduring support to 18 law enforcement agencies (12 local, two State, four Federal) and to other LEAs upon request. They remain a constant ambassador of the Georgia National Guard and liaison for law enforcement needs related to illicit drug enforcement and provide requested training courses.

During fiscal year 2018, the GaNG CDTF facilitated 13 training courses to a multitude of law enforcement agencies providing law enforcement a cost savings of over $231,000. In total, GaNG CDTF provided training to 61 agencies and 423 law enforcement officers. This training is provided at no cost to law enforcement agencies and no cost to the Georgia tax-

payers thanks to participation in the Federal Asset Forfeiture Programs.

The GaNG CDTF assisted in the cumulative seizure of $55,106,788 consisting of $41,377,986 worth of drugs, $9,401,729 in currency, $660,200 in property and $3,475,145 in vehicle seizures. These cases resulted in the discovery of 464 weapons (valued at $191,739) which were either stolen, in the possession of felons, and/or being used during the commission of felonies within the state of Georgia. The support provided by the GaNG CDTF assisted in building cases that directly led to the arrest of 1,900 suspects during fiscal year 2018.

erational and contingency plans.

Cyber security is a rapidly growing field in the military and is quickly becoming a top priority to combat military and industrial espionage as well as cybercrimes which have included alleged election meddling by foreign governments. National Guard cyber experts from several states have recently been called upon to assist local authorities strengthen voter databases and networked equipment used in elections.

The DoD recognizes that America

is a target, and identifies that threats exist from terrorists seeking to attack U.S. citizens through malicious cyber activity against personal, commercial, or government infrastructure; or by subverting political and information networks. As new threats to commercial and military uses of space emerge, cyber security teams continue to adapt to challenges and vulnerabilities that include increased digital connectivity in all aspects of business, government, and military life.

Cyber protection team

The Georgia Army National Guard’s operational partnerships with other government agencies, as well as other private and public civilian organizations, are critical to improving our ability to assist the governor of Georgia with the protection of our communities and infrastructure.

Based on the Department of Defense’s strategy to expand military cyber capabilities and doctrine and secure networks and halt malicious cyber activity at its source, Georgia’s cyber operations have become increasingly relevant to an expanding multi-domain battlefield.

The Ga. Army National Guard’s 170th Cyber Protection Team (CPT) was one of the first three CPTs established by the National Guard in 2015 for such purposes. A cyber protection team can be deployed worldwide by the DoD or used locally at state level to provide cyber protection on government networks.

The 170th CPT was recently mobilized in support of three primary DoD missions which included defending DoD networks, systems and systems information, defending the U.S. homeland and U.S. national interests against cyberattacks of significant consequence, and providing cyber support to military op-

State Partnership Program

The State of Georgia continued to strengthen its 24-year partnership with the country of Georgia and based on those experiences, built on their second State Partnership Program with Argentina, established in November 2016.

2018 saw numerous events conducted with both partner nations.

State of Georgia representatives conducted 42 events, meetings, exercises and bilateral discussions with Georgia (31 events) and Argentina (11 events), continually strengthening bilateral ties with the United States.

For the partnership with Argentina, the year began with five Ga. Guardsmen traveling to participate in the Salta Exercise, simulating an earthquake disaster response. The exercise focus was on disaster response and disaster assistance with Ga. NG providing humanitarian aid aerial delivery subject matter exchanges as well as participating in a disaster response working group in Buenos Aires.

Georgia National Guard leadership also participated in several high level events including the G-20 planning conference at U.S. Southern Command and the South American defense conference in Buenos Aries.

The State Partnership Program in the country of Georgia focused

on several key areas such as Rotary wing aviation, logistics, civil military emergency preparedness, Family Readiness, Cyber Security, and Georgian National Guard development.

New areas of cooperation in 2018 were explosive ordinance disposal and military chaplaincy.

In July, five UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shipped to Tbilisi

by STRAT AIR (a first for a U.S. National Guard unit to a European Theater exercise) and more than 200 Ga. ARNG Soldiers participated in U.S. Army Europe’s Exercise Noble Partner. The exercise was the fourth iteration of the Georgian led, multinational training exercise for U.S.,

Coalition and partner forces to focus on readiness and interoperability and was in direct support of U.S. European Command’s first line of effort – deter Russia.

The Georgian Armed Forces continued to deploy nearly 900 Soldiers every rotation in support of the Resolute Support Mission co-deploying with the U.S. Marine Corps to Afghanistan. Georgia remains the number one per capita contributor to RSM and the state of Georgia is committed to working with Georgian Armed Forces to enhance their readiness and capability to defend their homeland as well as send troops on expeditionary deployments.

The Georgia Department of Defense public affairs program merges the joint efforts of federal and state employees, Georgia Army and Air National Guard personnel, and State Defense Force volunteers. The combined efforts of these media professionals account for thousands of annual print and broadcast-ready products which include articles, press releases, photos, and videos. This content regularly reaches a wide audience of online followers through integrated social media channels that include Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The Georgia DoD archives thousands of photos and videos on their Flickr and DVIDS sites, which are often sought out by major media markets. The media relations coordinator ensures access to Georgia DoD leaders and subject matter experts so that the Georgia Guardsmen’s story can be told to audiences around the world. In 2018, the Georgia DoD’s community relations program coordinated support for more than 100 events to include guest speakers, equipment displays and band support.

The JCA is for recent Ga. YCP graduates. This five-month residential program mirrors the Ga. YCP concept and offers students certificate or credit earning technical training through a partnership with Savannah Technical College and Coastal Pine Technical College. The JCA has completed five classes with 264 graduates. Our JCA graduates are quite successful with 96 percent having earned college credits or certifications, and 88 percent of the graduates have been placed in jobs by their trade and 51 have enlisted in the military.

Overall, Ga. YCP provides an added value to local communities producing thousands of productive and participatory citizens and over a million dollars’ of in-kind service to the community. The Ga. YCP Program begins its next 25 years providing a second chance to Georgia’s at-risk youth and preparing them for a productive future.

Youth Challenge academy

The Georgia National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program (YCP) provides a second chance for at-risk 16-18 year old youth. The program consists of four academies. Three youth challenge academies are located at Fort Stewart (Savannah), Fort Gordon (Augusta), and Milledgeville. The fourth academy is the Georgia Job Challenge Academy (JCA), also on Fort Stewart. The Youth ChalleNGe Academies (YCA) conduct a residential, military-like alternative education program that emphasizes structure, consistency, discipline, teamwork, and self-improvement. The JCA is a five-month post residential career skills training program for eligible YCA graduates.

The Youth ChalleNGe program and Ft. Stewart YCA celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2018. In the last 25 years, the Ga. YCP has provided an opportunity, sometimes a last opportunity, for 16,535 graduates to turn their lives around. In just the past fifteen months, 1411 cadets have graduated from Ga. YCP and 733 earned education credentials (510 GEDs and

223 high school diplomas). Education excellence, one of eight core components, is one focus of the Ga. YCP Program’s efforts to develop young lives.

Cadets entering the residential program face a challenging and intensive 22-week military-like structured environment that emphasizes a holistic approach to self-development. Cadets receive training and education in the following eight core components: academic excellence, job skills training, responsible citizenship, service to community, life coping skills, leadership/followership, health and hygiene, and physical fitness. Additionally, job training opportunities exist through a relationship with Job Corps at the Ft. Stewart YCA and soon at the Milledgeville YCA. Academies have also developed additional training opportunities for certification in OSHA-10 safety training, ServSafe, carpentry, phlebotomy, and certified nursing assistant. Eligible cadets also have the opportunity to take college courses while in their residential phase.

Upon graduation, cadets continue with the 12-month mentored phase where they’re paired with an adult mentor who works with the cadet in meeting their post-residential goals.

2018 Annual Report | 44

HISTORICAL ROOTS For nearly three centuries, Georgia’s citizens have volunteered to leave home and family to protect their fellow citizens. The antecedent elements of the Georgia National Guard were established by Lord James Oglethorpe upon his arrival in Savannah In 1733.

Oglethorpe was well acquainted with the utility of the Citizen-Soldier, and upon arriving in the new colony moved swiftly to establish and train the Georgia Militia.

Oglethorpe’s actions would prove prescient. In 1742, a Spanish force of more than 2,000 troops threatened Simons Island. Among the units Oglethorpe had at his disposal was a troop of mounted rangers, a forerunner of the Georgia Hussars, whose lineage and honors are maintained today by the Georgia Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 118th Field Artillery Regiment.

On July 7, 1742, the rangers spotted Spanish troops near Gully Hole Creek.

Oglethorpe personally led an assault that blunted the Spanish advance. In response, the Spanish landed 200 elite grenadiers who marched inland in a column formation. Concealed by trees, Oglethorpe’s small force routed the numerically superior Spanish at Bloody Marsh. The Spanish withdrew from St. Simons and would not again seriously contend for Georgian soil.

Since the first rattle of musket fire at Gully Hole Creek, Georgia Guardsmen

have served their state and nation in conflicts and in times of emergency.

Guard units such as the Chatham Artillery of Savannah and the Liberty Independent Troop of Hinesville were formed before the American Revolution, served through that conflict, and continue in service today.

Georgia artillerymen served their cannons during the War of 1812 and Macon infantry served in the Seminole Wars. Georgians fell at the Alamo and crossed Mexico with Zachary Taylor. During the great shattering of the American Civil War, more than 130,000 Georgians served, and more than 18,000 paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Georgia Guardsmen mobilized for the Spanish American War and served on the Mexican Border in 1916. More than sixty Georgia Guard companies were deployed to Europe during World War I. Georgia Guardsmen served the European Theater of World War Two. Field artillery units from Savannah and infantry units from across the state went ashore at Omaha Beach and soldiered east across France and entered Germany, achieving victory, but at a terrible price.

The casualty list for the 121st Infantry Regiment alone is 70 pages long.

Georgia Guardsmen also served in the Pacific Theater. Field artillery and anti-aircraft units protected the skies over Allied bases in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea and advanced to Guadalcanal where their guns stood

watch over Henderson Field. Georgia Guardsmen made the beach assault at Makin Island with the 193rd Tank Battalion and engaged in the bloody conflict for Okinawa. By 1945, More than 70 units of the Georgia Army National Guard had been called to serve in World War II. During the Korean War, the 108th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade was activated to protect the skies over American cities in anticipation of possible war escalation. Georgia Air National Guardsmen of the 116th Fighter Wing deployed to Japan and flew missions in the skies over Korea.

During the Vietnam War, Georgia Air National Guardsmen delivered supplies to Vietnam in their C-97 cargo planes.

Nearly 6,000 Georgia Guardsmen were mobilized for Desert Shield in 1990. During Desert Storm, the 138th Medical Company cared for American and Iraqi patients while the 265th Engineer Group commanded the largest engineer force in the XVIII Airborne Corps, constructing more than 800 miles of road.

More than 18,000 Georgia Army National Guard Soldiers have served in the Global War on Terror. More than 200 are currently deployed Nearly 3,000 more are pending deployment.

The spirit of service and courage that defended Georgia in the 18th century is carried on by today’s generation of Georgia Guardsmen.

The Boar’s Head

The boar’s head on the wreath depicted in the patch worn by Georgia National Guardsmen is an adaptation of the crest authorized by the National Guard for the state of Georgia, approved March 20, 1922. The wild boar symbolizes courage and ferocity. The boar’s head, which stems from the coat of arms of James Oglethorpe – founder of the Colony of Georgia – is also the emblem of hospitality. The red, white and blue colors are the official colors of Georgia.
