By Colonel Tim Marsano
Major General Gary Sayler, Idaho National Guard
commander, today announced the postponement of
monthly training for members of the Idaho Army
National Guard and Idaho Air National Guard.
“Due to the uncertainty caused by the current
government shutdown, we have no choice but to
postpone this important monthly training,” he
said.
Here is the current plan for Citizen Soldiers
and Citizen Airmen to make up this training:
Idaho Army National Guard –
Unit training assemblies throughout the State of
Idaho have been postponed for this weekend, 5-6
October. It’s now scheduled for 19-20 October,
assuming the government shutdown has ended by
then. If that’s not the case, we will put out
another announcement.
Idaho Air National Guard – Unit
training assembly has been cancelled for this
weekend, 5-6 October. Once the government has
been funded, we will determine individual plans
for making up the 2-day period. We expect to
have more information before November’s drill
(assuming the government shutdown has ended by
then).
The National Guard has a dual mission, providing
trained and equipped units to the states to
protect life and property and to the nation in
order to defend the United States and its
interests worldwide. Monthly training is the way
in which we ensure our men and women are trained
to conduct these vital missions. |
