Governors On Guard

Members of the National Governors Association and the Council of Governors are urging President Obama to include state National Guard representation on the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force.

A provision in the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law by the president last week, mandated that representation.

"As you consider appointments, the nation's governors urge you to include senior National Guard leaders to represent states on the commission," the letter reads.
