3 Office of The Adjutant General HEADQUARTERS INDIANA NATIONAL GUARD 00 SOUTH HOLT ROAD INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA The Indiana National Guard, represented by more than 4,000 Hoosier service members, civilian employees and their families, continued Indiana s proud tradition of service to the state and nation throughout fiscal year 07. We do this by maintaining readiness to serve at home and abroad at a moment s notice. While we never know what tomorrow will hold, we can credit the people and leadership of our state for the foresight to ensure our forces are always ready, and always there. You can count on the National Guard to respond to emergencies in your community and across the country and to do our part to protect national security by serving in countries far from home. Maintaining our operational advantage and modernizing our forces to move quickly and effectively is no small task, and we thank you for your support. In 07, we displayed our commitment to our fellow citizens with our response to hurricane relief efforts in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. We ensured our readiness to deploy around the globe in support of combatant commanders by training hundreds of Guardsmen at the Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, Louisiana. To improve organizational health, safety and well-beinganother way we ensure readinesswe opened the Army Wellness Center at Camp Atterbury. Working with the U.S. Army Medical Command and National Guard Bureau, the center s mission is to help our troops achieve health and wellness goals to improve their resilience and their physical, psychological and emotional health. Our work with local and state first responders and community members remains a focal point in our operations. Last fall we assisted the City of Gary and local authorities with a demolition project to remove abandoned homes that were havens for illegal drug activity. We further invest in our communities with programs such as the Hoosier Youth Academy and STARBASE, which work to enrich and educated youth throughout Indiana. More than,000 students took advantage of our three STARBASE locations in 07, and in 08 we plan to open a fourth location in Gary. Adjutant General s Message The Indiana National Guard s counter-drug task force works closely with local, state and federal law enforcement by offering unique skills, capabilities, training, equipment and funds to assist in drug-related investigations. These resources and support are offered to local drug-free coalitions to assist in their work to rid their communities of illegal drugs. The Indiana National Guard will continue to maintain readiness and to modernize in the face of unknown disasters and conflicts both domestically and abroad. With your support, we will continue our proud tradition going back 8 years, and are honored to serve all Hoosiers throughout the great state of Indiana. COURTNEY P.

7 Operationally, the Indiana National Guard continued to support its dual mission to the nation and to the state. More than 500 Hoosier Guardsmen served overseas during fiscal year 07 working alongside their active-duty counterparts. During hurricane season, soldiers and airmen deployed to Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico for disaster-response missions. The Indiana National Guard provided ready forces for the Army and Air Force that are capable of deploying and fighting in an array of complex environments. The Indiana National Guard received and executed more than $0 million in support of Joint Readiness Training Center exercises at Fort Polk, Louisiana, coordinating with 0 states. The 8th Infantry Division and 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team set approximately 4,000 Partnerships Hoosier troops to conduct joint operations that emphasize contingency force missions. Atterbury-Muscatatuck played a central role in the partnership between the st Battalion, 5st Infantry Regiment and the U.S. Army s Associated Unit Program when three battalionsized elements trained alongside active components at the 5,000-acre complex south of Indianapolis. This partnership enabled 0 of our personnel to attend the Jungle Operations Center in Hawaii for training. Hoosier Guardsmen steadily supported combatant commander global missions in Cuba, Afghanistan and Kuwait. We deployed to Fort Meade, Maryland to support cyber protection initiatives. We processed 06 federal mobilizations for duty assignments at Camp Atterbury, the National Guard Bureau and other stateside missions while for the second year maintaining readiness levels for approximately 00 Guardsmen as part of the 8th Infantry Division command-and-control disaster response contingency operation.

8 Intelligence The Indiana Intelligence Center s mission is to provide structured intelligence training and facilities for National Guard, Reserve and active-duty service members in addition to members with other governmental agencies. Indiana s Intelligence Center is one of only three sites, and the only Army National Guard site, to teach intelligence system architecture, an academically rigorous course geared toward senior intelligence personnel. The course teaches how various automated military intelligence systems connect to the each other and the rest of the Army s missioncommand systems to ensure timely and accurate information reaches commanders and units when they need it, regardless of the tactical situation. At the end of 07, the center s first class of Digital Intelligence System Master Gunners, who are subject matter experts who can configure, operate, maintain and coordinate the connectivity of mission command information systems, see below. The Indiana National Guard s first military intelligence engagements with our State Partnership Program countries took place in fiscal year 07. Soldiers from the 8th Infantry Division helped troops from the armed forces of the Slovak and Czech Republics on basic imagery analysis. This success led to a follow-up joint engagement assisting with basic, full-motion video analysis led by Air and Army National Guard service members. Later in the year, Indiana participated in a conference of the directors of military intelligence for the Lake Chad Basin Region focusing on countering violent religious extremism. At this conference, the Indiana National Guard director of military intelligence met with counterparts from Indiana s newest partner country, Niger. Over the course of this past year, we pursued and received new and upgraded equipment, enabling soldiers to provide enhanced capabilities for their units and improving our position as the premier training site for U.S. Army military intelligence soldiers learning how to use their tactical equipment and systems. To meet the growing need for readiness and modernization, the Indiana Intelligence Center began teaching specialized new classes in geospatial intelligence, human intelligence, signals intelligence and all-source analysis. Instructors traveled to numerous locations to teach students from the active, National Guard and Reserve components in multiple intelligence disciplines. This helps us understand the architecture of the different intelligence systems and how they communicate with each other. I think it s important in the future so we can be flexible to fight.

9 Information Management During 07, the information technology directorate modernized the network infrastructure which increased bandwidth to most armories by 00 times their previous speeds. This improvement also provided traditional Indiana National Guardsmen with the ability to connect to the internet with personally owned computers enhancing the commander s ability to train soldiers. The IT staff completed the movement of the contingency of operations plan site from Muscatatuck Urban Training Center to Camp Atterbury enhancing MUTC s ability to further develop a premier cyber training venue, see page 8. The staff also began the modernization processes for computers Cyber Teams This year was a big year for Indiana Cyber Teams and a huge year of firsts. In April 07, the Cyber Protection Team was deployed to Fort Meade, Maryland to support the 780th Military Intelligence Brigade as part of Task Force Echo. This was the first the 7nd Cyber Protection Team activated to support a Title 0 cyber mission. The team took over the mission in August 07. The first ever Indiana National Guard lieutenant completed the Cyber Basic Officer Leadership Course at Fort Gordon, Georgia, and for the first time, four Indiana officers were approved to transfer into the cyber branch. In addition, the first two Indiana warrant officers completed the Information Protection Technician Course to become qualified as Indiana National Guard st Lt.

The newly coined cybersecurity section has expanded to provide a more proactive approach to our daily computing environment and provide more detailed responses and reports. The Defensive Cyber Operations Element or DCOE participated in intense cyberspace operations training at a national exercise named Cyber Shield. Their readiness was greatly enhanced while refining their response processes. network information protection technicians, and the first Indiana cyber operations warrant officer was also sworn into service. The two Indiana Army National Guard cyber units participated in two cyber exercises this year: a jail break exercise and Cyber Shield. For the jail break exercise members of both teams worked together to defend a city against a cyber-attack from a group working to obtain the release of one of its members. The team not only had to defend the jail but also the systems that kept the city government running. At Cyber Shield the Indiana Defensive Cyber Operations Element worked through the exercise alongside cyber security employees from Duke Energy simulating a cyber-attack on a U.S. utility company. Information Management & Cyber Cyber Operations In 07, the cyber operations personnel worked extensively to support the Cyber Protection Team in preparation of its mobilization, set up training for the cyber teams, and supported their efforts in exercises. It scheduled and conducted four mobile training teams to complete required training for the cyber elements ranging from certified ethical hacker to security plus. The office also was a member of the Indiana FBI Cyber Threat Focus Group. The task force, organized by the Indiana FBI Cyber Task Force and comprised of Indiana businesses and organizations including Lilly, Purdue University, and Anthem Insurance, meet to discuss cyber security topics and how they apply to Indiana. Finally, cyber operations staff continued to work with Indiana Department of Homeland Security and Indiana Office of Technology to develop the state s Cyber Intrusion Response Plan set to be presented to the governor of Indiana in September 08.

11 Indiana Wellness Directorate Army Wellness Center Leaders must be focused on building readiness and eliminating factors that lead to reduced readiness in our formations. Army Physical Fitness Test failures, obesity, substance abuse, and line of duty conditions leading to permanent profiles or separation are some of the significant factors that directly impact the readiness of our soldiers. Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Kadavy Army National Guard Director The Indiana National Guard met this readiness challenge head-on October 06 by hosting the grand opening of the Indiana Resiliency Campus and establishing the Indiana Wellness Directorate. The directorate oversees the Army Wellness Center and Life Fit physical readiness programs housed within Camp Atterbury campus buildings. The campuses provide soldiers and their family members with resilience services, service member for life programs and guarding your future programs. The campus also houses the directorate and includes fitness and wellness services of the AWC and Life Fit programs. The IRC s programs consist of family and financial counseling, substance abuse, spiritual fitness and crisis intervention. The Indiana National Guard recognized a significant divergence from physical fitness standards, which created a readiness gap. As a result we created the wellness directorate. This directorate has a team of subject matter experts with backgrounds ranging from exercise and nutrition to sustainable health and lifestyle coaching. This team ensures a consistent and synchronization of evidencebased programs and communication that occurs at all levels of support. The organization s focus for the IWD was to establish the first ever National Guard funded Army Wellness Center. Indiana s AWC is modeled after the 7 medical command governed AWCs and adheres to their best practices. The AWC provides a personalized health and wellness plan based upon an individual s performance of several physiological assessments. The program proved to be successful with,00 clients participating in the program in 07. The Indiana National Guard will continue to meet the challenging request to change the health and wellness culture by developing strategic partnerships throughout the state. Additional AWC satellite locations are scheduled to open soon. The next AWC location is scheduled to open in the Lawrence Armory to facilitate greater access for soldiers. The Indiana Wellness Directorate continues its efforts to improve physical readiness by shaping the Life Fit course to directly address obesity and Army Physical Fitness Test concerns. This class is a 0 day move-to-learn course providing soldiers a hands on experience, as well as learning topics from nutrition, mental toughness, physical fitness, strength training, bio-mechanics, program design and many more. The Life Fit experience positively impacts soldiers lives by providing required education A total of soldiers attended the 07 Life Fit course with 54 maintaining a passing score on their APFT almost a year after their initial visit. Attendance is expected to double in the 08 as the program continues to grow by leveraging community partners and industry experts. Indiana Guardsman

32 State Partnership Program The Indiana National Guard continued its longstanding partnership with the Slovak armed forces and forged a new partnership with the Niger armed forces all under the umbrella of the National Guard s and Defense Department s State Partnership Program, which is now in its third decade. The partnerships focus on meeting four strategic goals of the program: ) building partnership capacity to deter, prevent and prepare; ) building partnership capacity to respond and recover; ) supporting partners defense reform and professional development; and 4) enabling and facilitating enduring broad-spectrum security relationships. In 07, the Indiana National Guard initiated one of the latest of more than 70 total state partnerships, by partnering with the Republic of Niger. On Jan. 6 in Niamey, Niger, Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr, adjutant general for the Indiana National Guard, and Gen. Seyni Garbi, joint chief of staff of the Niger armed forces, signed an agreement confirming the relationship between the two military organizations. During the trip to Niger, Indiana National Guard members also met with the U.S. Ambassador to Niger, Eunice Reddick. In August, Indiana hosted Nigeriens for two separate events Security Cooperation Studies and Exercise Program seminar and a senior leaders visit. These events increased mutual understanding and served to enhance the new relationship, which will translate into greater partnership engagements in 08. Indiana and Slovakia continued their enduring partnership with exercises like Toxic Lance and Blonde Avalanche. Toxic Lance focused on a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack and allowed the two countries service members to train and work alongside each to exercise interoperability, improve communication and integrate standard operating procedures Blonde Avalanche focused on engineering troops working alongside each other during a disaster-relief exercise. These exercises are a smart investment. They not only build relationships with our allies, but also increase our military proficiency and create trust and understanding between the soldiers and leaders of Europe and the U.S., said Carr.
