Indiana Senior Leadership Realignment in the Indiana National Guard

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Adjutant General of the Indiana National Guard, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger has announced a realignment of critical leadership positions in response to evolving requirements of the Indiana National Guard transformation and Homeland Security responsibilities.Effective immediately, Brig. Gen. David L. Harris will be detailed from his current assignment as commander of the 76th Brigade, headquartered in Indianapolis, Ind., to serve as Assistant Adjutant General until May 31. This move is in response to the critical requirements of the joint training exercise Ardent Sentry/Vigilant Guard.

Effective June 1 Brig. Gen. Harris will assume command responsibilities of 81st Troop Command (headquartered in Indianapolis). As that organization expands, it will refine its new role and responsibilities as a standing Joint Task Force Headquarters, ready to support homeland security missions.

Colonel Courtney P. Carr, deputy commander of the 76th Brigade Combat Team, will immediately assume command responsibilities as the 76th BCT moves through the transformation process to become a fully equipped and ready brigade.

Maj. Gen. Umbarger voiced his confidence in both these outstanding senior Guard officers as they lead their units to meet the demanding and vital needs of our state and nation.
