INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana National Guard and the Republic of Niger signed a state partnership agreement during a ceremony held in Niamey, Niger, Jan. 26. Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr, adjutant general, Indiana National Guard, and Gen. Seyni Garba, joint chief of staff of the Niger armed forces, made the state partnership official during a signing ceremony attended by representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Niger, the Indiana National Guard, Nigerien armed forces, U.S. Army Africa Command and Indiana University. The Indiana National Guard continues to develop relationships across the spectrum of Department of Defense agencies and civil authorities serving as a catalyst, joining communities to uniformed services, said Carr. The State Partnership Program is in its third decade of unique partnership building and contributes significantly to enduring relationships that enhance security cooperation and interoperability. For the Forces Armée Nigerien, it will build and strengthen its already impressive military training institutions and security operations, said Eunice S. Reddick, U.S. ambassador to Niger. For the Indiana National Guard, the partnership offers a chance to increase readiness, interoperability and regional expertise. The Indiana contingent, led by Carr, traveled to Niger for the signing as part of the official delegation responsible for finalizing the agreement with Niger. Prior to the official signing the Indiana delegation was led by personnel from the U.S. embassy throughout the area to visit numerous sites to include cultural and military locations. The Hoosier service members met with Niger officials for three days discussing unique service capabilities and program overviews.

It enables the Indiana National Guard to leverage wholeof-society relationships and capabilities to facilitate broader interagency engagements spanning the military, economic, education and socio-cultural realms. Carr also highlighted existing partnerships with several of Indiana s prominent universities. We have a history of partnering with academia, and I d like to thank Indiana University for joining us on this trip said Carr.

Niger is Indiana s second state partner. The Slovak Republic and Indiana started their partnership in Since its inception, the Indiana National Guard has completed a variety of exchanges with Slovakia, ranging from humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to maintenance, emergency management, engineering and Army and Air Force aviation focusing on interoperability and security focused exercises. The State Partnership Program helps partner nations leverage the full breadth and depth of U.S. defense and interagency capabilities from within the state-country relationship facilitating mutual cooperation across all aspects of international civilmilitary affairs.

Norman King, holding paper and the military police task force s senior enlisted adviser, talks to his platoon sergeants at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017, prior to the task force heading to Washington to help secure the 2017 Presidential Inauguration. Hoosier troops help secure D.C. during inauguration By Sgt. 1st Class Lasima O. Packett Indiana National Guard Public Affairs The Indiana National Guard sent approximately 150 troops to the nation s capital to support the 58th Presidential Inauguration. The Indiana National Guard works hard to provide trained service members ready for any mission assigned, said Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr, the Indiana National Guard s adjutant general. We are proud to take part in an event of this stature, and I m excited for the opportunity these young men and women have to contribute to such a significant part of the democracy of our nation. The Hoosiers largest element will come from the more than 130 military police from the 81st Troop Command. Obviously there s a giant sense of pride, and it s an honor to be selected for this leading these soldiers. The inauguration is going to be a historic event, and everyone definitely has a sense of pride about it, said 1st Lt. Jeff Merritt, the military police task force commander. Members of the Indiana National Guard supported Operation Strong Guardian, which consisted of approximately 7,500 National Guard soldiers and airmen from about 40 states, territories and the District of Columbia. This support is at the request of local civilian authorities as well as federal government agency partners. National Guard soldiers and airmen assisted local civilian authorities with traffic control, crowd management among other activities. The Hoosier Guardsmen helped ensure that the hundreds of thousands of spectators were able to move around smoothly and safely before, during and after the inauguration events.

Afghanistan Indiana s part to help southwest Asia nation By Sgt. 1st Class David Bruce 38th Infantry Division Public Affairs A departure ceremony was held for approximately 60 Indiana National Guard soldiers deploying to Afghanistan, Saturday, Jan. 14, at the 38th Infantry Division Armory in Indianapolis. The division Guardsmen will be training, advising and assisting Afghan security forces in two provinces. The deploying soldiers are comprised of senior commissioned and noncommissioned officers. This is an important mission because making sure the Afghan armed forces are capable of securing their country and their borders increases the security of the United States, said Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr, Indiana National Guard adjutant general. Of the soldiers deploying, only seven have not deployed before with many having two and three deployments. This is perhaps the senior most group that have deployed from Indiana, said Carr. This is not an ordinary deployment; this a team of well-experienced soldiers that are getting ready for this mission. These soldiers are experts in their areas. The train, advise and assist teams will complete their training at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The soldiers were notified of the mobilization in August. This is a special group of experienced officers and noncommissioned officers with the opportunity, probably the final opportunity for many of us, to practice our craft one more time at the highest level, said Lt. Col. Michael Grundman, Afghan flag 38th ID deploys troops to train, advise, assist commander of one of the two teams. The deployment will continue to build on previous missions to train and aid in what is still a fledgling country as it secures its future, said Grundman. This is the first deployment of Indiana National Guard soldiers under the administration of newly-elected Gov. Eric Holcomb, and he praised the Hoosier Guardsmen heading overseas. Janet and I are proud of the brave Hoosier men and women in the Indiana National Guard, and these soldiers and their families will remain in our thoughts and prayers as they mobilize for federal service in Afghanistan, said Holcomb. The division has also deployed soldiers to Kosovo and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba within the last six months. Photo by Sgt. 1st Class David Bruce Indiana Army National Guard Lt. Col.

5 Army Wellness Center begins ops By Sgt. 1st Class Lasima O. Packett Indiana National Guard Public Affairs The Indiana National Guard leaders are on a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of its members through the new Army Wellness Center. Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr along with the state s senior enlisted adviser, Command Sgt. Maj. James Gordon have worked passionately to bring the center into existence here in Indiana for service members and their families. Carr, the commander of the Indiana National Guard, believes the presence of the center will have a positive long-term influence on our Guardsmen wellness and the organization s readiness. From a readiness standpoint, nearly 20 percent of our force isn t passing their annual physical fitness test, we can t send them to schools, promote them, or reenlist them. This affects our strength and readiness because we are losing service members. However, we d like to see long-term lifestyle changes, that will have a positive impact on the soldiers and their families from a wellness perspective, said Carr. To help encourage troops to take full advantage of the center, Carr is calling on his senior leaders to go through the assessments themselves. He hopes the leaders will pass on the benefits and further encourage their own soldiers to use these resources. We want to make sure that leadership understands the capability. We want them to model the behavior and get their troops and their families engaged, said Carr. Carr and Gordon have gone through the process themselves. Carr said, that he has already seen an improvement in his health. Jared Harper, the wellness center s director, noted the center is not just for those struggling with their weight or passing their physical fitness test, but said all soldiers can benefit from the services provided. Whether participants are struggling with height and weight, have individual health and wellness goals, are APFT failures Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Lasima O. Packett Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr tests his cardiorespiratory fitness level at the Army Wellness Center. or are passing with a 300, I envision all service members utilizing the wellness center to help provide the baseline education necessary to achieve physical fitness and sustainability in health and wellness, said Harper. Gordon said the assessment has helped him think in new ways about the type of exercises he should be doing, as well as being more conscious of his caloric intake. When you get your body assessment combined with the counseling from the educators, it really gives you an overall assessment of your wellness and fitness, with a way ahead, said Gordon. The center s educators focus on physical improvements, weight management, and stress reduction. The Camp Atterbury wellness center Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Lasima O. Packett Command Sgt. Maj. James Gordon tests his flexibility while Jared Harper watches and measures. utilizes state-of-the-art wellness technology that can help oneself gain a better understanding of our own physiological needs. Through the wellness center s assessment and education process, our clients will be better empowered to meet their health and wellness goals leading to a sustainable health lifestyle, said Harper. The leadership of the Indiana National Guard wants what s best for their service members and the Guard as a whole, through a representation of good health and wellness. In the end if our Guardsmen and their families are healthier, then this will have a lasting impact on our service members and the organization, said Carr. The center opened at Camp Atterbury in October, as a part of the larger operating, resilience campus. Clark gets star, promoted to flag rank By Maj. John A.
