History for NC National Guard:
BG Beth Austin
The President’s Report
By President Ronnie Honeycutt
S
ince 911, the National Guard has
proven over and
over again that we can get
the job done. Not only do
we get the job done, but we get it done cheaper.
So you would think that we would be safe from
budget cuts, but that could not be further from
the truth. Can our country truly afford allowing
our National Guard to lose the experience and
knowledge gained during the past ten years, paid
for by the sacrifices and commitment of our Soldiers, Airmen and their families, in order to give
this nation the Operational Reserve required to
preserve our way of life in the new world that
we all live in? If you look back at our history,
then you know this is exactly what could happen.
We are facing budget cuts to all our benefits, as well as force shaping. This is important
because these cuts will affect everyone serving
in the North Carolina National Guard. Your
NCNGA along with our national organizations, EANGUS and NGAUS,
are committed to ensuring that all our Soldiers and Airmen receive the best
benefits, equipment and training. I am asking everyone to be involved if
you are not already. It is very easy to do, just go to our www.ncnga.org
website and sign up to receive important notices, as well as our Facebook
page and click “LIKE.” If your email has changed since you last signed up,
please make sure you share it with us. These are not just words, TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER.
A word to our young Soldiers and Airmen. As I travel across our great
state, I am so impressed by all of you who are now coming up through our
ranks. If you are any indication of what the future of the North Carolina
National Guard will look like, and I believe that you are, then we are in
good hands. The job that each of you does, whether deployed or at home
station, displays your pride in serving our state and nation. I only ask that
you stop looking so young because you make me feel so OLD, but I guess
there isn’t much chance of that happening. I wish I could truly express how
proud I am to be a Member of the North Carolina National Guard because
of you.
I would be amiss, if I did not ask everyone to take time to say a prayer
to keep all our service men and women safe serving around the world, our
Fallen Heroes Families, and all the challenges of getting well from service
related injuries. Thank you ALL for your sacrifice.

285-Active National Guard Special Plate at No Cost. Providing one free
special license plate would cost the state money, but there was a lot of interest in the General Assembly to do this as a thank you gesture to the Guard
for the extraordinary sacrifice its members make to protect our state and nation. HB 285 passed the House Transportation Committee unanimously and
was sent to Finance. Representative Julia Howard is the Senior Chair of the
Finance Committee. She worked very hard for the Guard to see if this bill
could move out of Finance and onto the House floor. The problem was that
with the historic level of cuts being made to all state agencies, the Leadership of the Majority Party did not think it was responsible to spend any new
money no matter how worthy. While the Association has great support in
the General Assembly, the bill did not move forward. Representative Howard wants to help the NC National Guard and our Association, and desires
to meet with us soon to talk about our agenda moving forward.
The Legislative Committee has done a good job in building up its grass
roots network around the state. More in this area must be done before the
General Assembly reconvenes in May, 2012. This proves invaluable as issues develop or bills are being considered by the General Assembly. With
continued work by our Association, the General Assembly will pass favorable legislation to the members of the Guard as the economic picture in
this state improves. Any member interested in helping the Association’s
Legislative Committee with their local representatives should give Legislative Committee Chairman John Thompson a call. His telephone number is
704-477-9353. John enjoys the legislative process and has done a great job
in helping to promote the NC National Guard Association to the state office
holders.

Legislative Update By Dick Carlton, Lobbyist
he 2011 Session of the North Carolina
General Assembly adjourned on Saturday, June 18, 2011. This represented the
fastest adjournment date since 1973. Of course,
this was a historic session for other reasons also.
First, the Republicans were in charge of the
House and the Senate for the first time since the
late 1800’s. Secondly, the large budget deficit of
over $2 Billion was the largest in the state’s history.
The Republican leadership was adamant in
not raising taxes, and they stuck to their promise
not to do so. This included letting the temporary
sales tax expire. All state agencies were forced
to cut back, and that included the NC National
Guard. At the end of the day, it is hopeful that all
critical services can be delivered. Brighter days
should be ahead for North Carolina’s economy.
Our Association was very mindful of the
historic economic crisis that was gripping not
only our county, but also our state. With that in
mind, the NC National Guard Association’s Legislative Committee did not promote legislation
that would increase the pension for retirees or
seek a limited income tax exemption for Guard
members.
The Association did work with Rep. Ric
Killian (R) Mecklenburg to introduce HB

RALEIGH, N.C. – More than 500 friends,
family, Airmen and fellow Soldiers gathered
for a historic event; the promotion of Elizabeth
Dickens Austin to brigadier general during
a ceremony at the North Carolina National
Guard’s new Joint Force Headquarters building here June 29.
North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue, Lt.
Gov. Walter Dalton, Army Maj. Gen. Greg
Lusk, the adjutant general of NC, along with
a host of state government and senior military
leaders were part of a standing room only
crowd to celebrate the promotion of the first
female North Carolina National Guard general
officer.
“This is monumental for the Guard, she
made history, she earned this promotion,” said
Perdue.
Austin, a 32-year NCNG veteran with
combat deployments for Operation Desert
Shield/Storm and Operation Iraq Freedom,
assumes the duties of NCNG’s Assistant Adjutant General for the Army.
“She is a key part of the ready team of the
North Carolina National Guard Soldiers,” said
Lusk.
Austin’s position makes her the principal
advisor to the Adjutant General of North Carolina for plans and policies affecting the North
Carolina Army National Guard.
“The Guard has given me great opportunities,” said Austin.
One Soldier in attendance recalled her devotion to her Soldiers as a
leader. “She made sure we were taken care of,” said retired NCNG
Army Staff Sgt. Dave Pruette who served with Austin, when she was a
major, in Det. 1, 691st Maintenance Company in 1996.
During the ceremony her husband, retired NCNG Army Col.
Mike Austin, and their daughter, Army Capt. Julie Austin, and Brig.
Gen. Austin’s sister, Carol Abraham, pinned her general’s star to her
uniform.
“It is a huge honor and thanks to all my family for their work and
sacrifice,” said Austin.

FORT BRAGG, NC — Eight former commanders of North Carolina National Guard’s 30th
Heavy Brigade Combat Team, including the
NCNG’s Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Gregory
A. Lusk, representing 28 years of command, met
with current brigade Soldiers at a training area
here June 15.
They met with Soldiers, discussed the unit’s
history and learned how the brigade, nicknamed
“Old Hickory,” has evolved over the years.
Brigade Soldiers of the 252nd Combined
Arms Battalion, 230th Brigade Support Battalion
and the 30th Brigade Special Troops Battalion
briefed the visitors on the purpose and operation
of new tanks and other brigade equipment.
The 30th HBCT evolved in the last quarter
century from a part of our nation’s strategic
reserves, and a unit that served NC, into an essential member of our nation’s operational reserves
shown by the brigade’s two deployments in 2004
and 2009 to Iraq.
Army Col. Randy Powell, the brigade’s current commander, said, “these General Officers
are the leaders who shaped and transformed this
unit into an effective and modern fighting force.”
He also said “Brigadier General Kenneth
Newbold (brigade commander 1983-1988) was
determined to create an Army Guard unit that
was professional, effective and always ready to
serve at home or abroad.”
“Newbold insisted on this transformation,
Tarheel Guardsman
and those Officers who followed him never let up. The 30th (Brigade) is
amongst the National Guard’s best because of their leadership,” Powell
said.
Several of the former commanders commented during their visit on the
professionalism and proficiency of the unit’s current Soldiers.
The commanders, all retired general officers except Lusk, in attendance
(in order of command) were: Brig. Gen. Kenneth Newbold, 1983-1988;
Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Robb, 1988-1989; Maj. Gen. Gerald Rudisill 19921993; Brig. Gen. Glenn Sloan, 1993-1997; Brig. Gen. James Carper, 1993
- 1997; Maj. Gen. John Atkinson, 1997-2000; Brig. Gen. Danny Hickman,
2000-2005; and Maj. Gen. Gregory Lusk, 2005-2010. (Brig. Gen. Roscoe
Lindsay, 1989-1992 was not able to attend due to a prior commitment.)

Legacy Bridge Program
Last year, Active Associate Representative Al
Rose introduced a program that is designed to
financially carry the Association through our
present fiscal transition period. As we move from
a system where we depended on our investments
and insurance premiums to pay our Association’s
expenses to one that will rely on new revenue
sources to cover our budget, the Legacy Bridge
Program will provide the interim funds to meet
budget costs until the transition is complete. Our
projection is that this should occur within 2-3
years, and as such it is a closed end program.
The short-term plan is to use the income from the Legacy Bridge Program until our new revenue sources come on-line allowing us to insulate
our investments so that they are allowed to grow over the long-term. At the
end of 2-3 years, the new revenue sources, along with insurance premiums,
will be our main income sources and the Legacy Bridge Program will close.
Long-term, we hope to reach an investment fund goal of $3 million. At
that point, even at a modest 4%, the Association could survive indefinitely
should our insurance and new revenue sources take a hit during lean times.
Please consider joining us in the Legacy Bridge Program. Take a few
minutes to fill out the application and to write a check. Al and his team
have started us in the right direction. It is up to us now to make it happen.
ATTENTION: NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS

30th BCT — Annual Training 2011
Story and photos by Spc. Charlene Mendiola, USF-I Public Affairs —
The Victory Times, Vol. VI, Issue 13
FORT BRAGG, NC – Soldiers of the North
Carolina National Guard’s 30th Heavy Brigade
Combat Team, comprised of units from across
the state and West Virginia, completed their
annual training last week here at Camp Butner,
NC and at Fort Pickett, VA. Guard members from the brigade’s Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 252nd
Combined Arms Battalion, 230th Brigade
Support Battalion and 30th Special Troops
Battalion served here. Soldiers from the 113th
Field Artillery (FA) Battalion served at Camp
Butner, NC and the West Virginia-based Soldiers of the 150th Armored Reconnaissance
Battalion, nicknamed the Mountaineers, served
at Fort Pickett, VA.
Soldiers of the 120th Combined Arms Battalion are holding their annual training here at
Fort Bragg, NC.
Training here and at Fort Pickett focused
on individual skills common to all Soldiers
and skills specific to each individual Soldier’s
primary military occupational specialty such as
tanks, infantry, communications, medical and
many other specialties necessary for successful
brigade operations.
Next year the training emphasis will
move from individual skills training to crew,
team, and small unit collective training as the
Brigade moves through a routine process to
ensure that it is ready to serve the citizens of
North Carolina and our nation.

deputy commanding general for detainee operations and provost marshal general of United

Since its transfer last summer, the Karkh
Prison, currently operated and manned by Iraqi
officials, opened its gates as the new chief of
Iraq, the mission of safety and control of detainees here on Camp Cropper must remain,” McQueen said.
“My goal is to ensure that we continue to comply with all the standards of the Geneva Conventions while providing care, custody and
protection of the detainees,” he said.
Although the Iraqi correction system still has its gaps, McQueen
says that the U.S. will continue to advise, assist and train Iraqi personnel up to the point of the transition.
“We currently have advisors from the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program who work with Warden Jalal
Abbas and correction officers every day in the prison,” said Col. Jeff
Brotherton, director of detainee operations with USF-I Provost Marshal
Office. “They provide us a report of current conditions
and training preparations for the transition.”
Months after its transfer, the prison continues to receive support and guidance from the U.S. “The National Corrections Training Center partnered
with ICITAP advisors to train the Iraqi correction officers to operate in a maximum security facility while
building a guard force,” Brotherton said.
“Wardens are also being trained to gain a better understanding of their job, while adhering to the standard
of care required for detainees,” McQueen said.
Most of the prisoners in Iraq were turned over to
the Iraqis on July 15, 2010. At the request of the Iraqi
government at the time, the U.S. remained in control of
over 200 prisoners.
The Cropper Theater Internment Facility is a
maximum security jail run by the 40th Military Police
Battalion. The facility houses the most sensitive and
dangerous prisoners - former members of Saddam Hussein’s regime, as well as Al Qaeda.
“Our mission of care, custody and control with
dignity and respect for the detainees encompasses everything from food, shelter, and medical care,” said Lt.
Colonel Jeff Brotherton welcomes US Deputy Attorney Gen- Col. Erica Nelson, commander for 40th MP Bn. “I want

State’s Longest-Serving
National Guard Soldier
Retires By NCNG Public Affairs Office
RALEIGH, N.C. – After nearly 44 years in
uniform, the North Carolina National Guard’s
longest-serving Soldier retired 22 June 2011,
during a ceremony at the Guard’s Joint Force
Headquarters.
Army Brig. Gen. Russell S. Hargis of Smithfield, NC, enlisted in the North Carolina Army
National Guard in September of 1967 and attended basic training in early 1968. He worked
full-time for the Guard as a maintenance specialist and reached the rank of staff sergeant before
attending Officer Candidate School and receiving
his officer’s commission in 1977.
“Steve Hargis is an exceptional leader with
a deep sense of devotion to our Soldiers and
Airmen,” said Army Maj. Gen. Greg Lusk, the
adjutant general of North Carolina and commander of the state’s nearly 12,000 Air and
Army National Guard members. “He has literally
gone from the lowest rank to the second highest
through hard work, determination and a desire to
serve his fellow citizens.”
Hargis retires as the state’s deputy adjutant
general, the second in command of North Caro-
National Guard Aviators Train with Dutch Infantry
By Army Sgt. 1st Class Gail Braymen, First Army Division West
lina’s Guard forces. Over
his career, he commanded
troops at every level including leading Soldiers in
NATO exercises in Europe
that played a critical role
in honing America’s Cold
War deterrent capabilities.
In civilian life, Hargis
went on to establish several successful businesses
including a construction
firm which specialized in
commercial and industrial
building projects.
“I could not have asked for a better career,” said Hargis. “And I
couldn’t have accomplished anything without my wife, Cathy, there to
guide me. I’m proud to have had the privilege to wear the uniform for so
long.”
Hargis is a graduate of Liberty University and the United States Army
War College. He also attended the Harvard University John F. Kennedy
School of Government Black Sea Security Program and the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies Seminar on Immigration and
Integration Policies and Terrorist Recruitment in Garmisch, Germany.
Michael Sherrill Honored at 4th Annual NCNGAEF Golf Fundraiser for the Len Adams Memorial Scholarship Fund
The 505th Engineer Combat Battalion (Heavy)
recently hosted a golf tournament fundraiser in
honor of Mike Sherrill’s retirement. Many retirees, co-workers, and friends gathered at the
Deer Brook Golf Club in Shelby to honor Mike’s
service to the NCNG. Proceeds from this tournament will benefit the North Carolina National
Guard Association Educational Foundation
(NCNGAEF). A brick will be purchased to recognize Mike in the NCNGAEF Walk of Honor at
Joint Forces Headquarters in Raleigh. $1000 was
raised for the 505th ECB’s Len Adams Memorial
Scholarship. Remaining funds raised will go to
the NCNGAEF Endowment Fund.
Fifteen teams turned out to support the tournament in honor of Mike Sherrill’s retirement.
Congratulations to the First Place team of Chris
McCurry, Mike Sherrill, Russell Stalvey, and
Russell Thorington. The Second Place team was
