3 Adjutant General and National Guard Mission Statement: The Nevada National Guard provides ready organizations and individuals to perform state and federal missions, globally and domestically. The mission of the Office of the Military is to enlist, organize, arm, equip, and train the state's military and National Guard units to defend the Constitution and protect the lives and property of the public in times of emergency, disorder, or disaster. The federal mission of the department is to provide soldiers and airmen to respond to federal mobilization as directed by the President or Congress. The Adjutant General provides administrative oversight for the department, which consists of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. 3

4 Adjutant General and National Guard Summary of Agency Operations: The State of Nevada employees provide administrative, accounting, personnel, firefighting, security, maintenance and custodial services to the Nevada National Guard for all facilities assigned to the Office of the Military.

5 Adjutant General and National Guard Strategic Priorities: The number one priority is readiness, to include manning, equipping and training the force to execute mission requirements and provide and maintain high quality facilities and resources. The second priority is care for service members and families. The organization specifically focuses on service member and family care during pre-deployment, deployment and post-deployment. Retirees are also valuable members of the organization and all components establish and enhance systems and programs to properly support them. Third is the strategic priority of diversity. This includes diverse duty assignments, education, recognition of diversity as a force multiplier and leadership strategy and creating a joint team that eliminates barriers and fosters talent to provide opportunity for all to reach his or her potential. Community is a noted priority as well, fostered through providing a positive image and involves efforts to publish and capitalize on successes about who we are and what we've done. Community involvement and partnerships with community and employers support the priority. 5

7 Nevada National Guard Units The federal government largely supports the force directly for fulfillment of the federal mission. The unique federal and state partnership that exists results in the State of Nevada having a vast array of fully trained and equipped professionals for a variety of needs. All of these capabilities and the State of Nevada pays about 1% of the total cost. 7

13 Funding History Pendulum has swung over the last decade to encompass more federal support. State Funding in 2012 was only $30,000 more than what was appropriated in Overall expenditures have increased from approximately $5 mil in 2001 to more than $17.5 mil in each year of the upcoming biennium. The federal contribution thus increased from approximately $3 mil to nearing $13.5 mil when looking at the same time period. 13

14 Federal Funding Uncertainty Operating under a Continuing Resolution Sequestration remains a possibility Funding uncertainty has not impacted the Master Cooperative Agreement (MCA) to date Upcoming biennial budget based on negotiated level of support Funds are obligated on a federal fiscal year basis 14

16 Significant Funding Changes North Las Vegas Readiness Center - State Fiscal Year 2013 budgeted as 100% State - Facility will receive federal support as of July 1, Savings to the State General Fund provides the funding for the enhancement units proposed while remaining within the General Fund Appropriation limit. Carlin Readiness Center - Budgetary Transfer from NSHE completed for State Fiscal Year

17 Significant Enhancement Units E225 Efficient and Responsive State Government (B/A 3650) $15,318 YR1/$10,015 YR2 This decision unit provides cohesiveness to the organization by providing computer access to the maintenance and custodial staff outside the federal network. This will provide local access through shared work stations for timesheets and on-line training. E226 - Efficient and Responsive State Government (B/A 3650) $72,751 YR1/$65,165 YR2 This decision adds staffing a Management Analyst II to the State Administration Office to accommodate increased workload due to the expansion of facilities and personnel accumulated over the last decade. The increased federal support has been a tremendous benefit to the agency, allowing us to retain employees and necessary operating expenses during the current biennium. A byproduct is that the workload for processing transactions has also increased. E730 Maintenance of Buildings and Grounds (B/A 3655) $45,000 YR1 The major enhancement requested in this decision unit is preventative maintenance for the two Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) units that serve the building. The manufacturer recommends annual maintenance on the units as well as replacement of the batteries every 3-4 years. 17

18 Ongoing Budget Reductions Positions eliminated due to prior budget restraints have not been reinstated. The increased federal support implemented in the 2011 session to avoid 10 layoffs has remained in effect. 18

19 Carlin Readiness Center 19

20 Carlin Readiness Center New Readiness Center is on-schedule for completion in March

21 Carlin Readiness Center The budgetary transfer was effective 7/1/13. The closing of the Fire Science Academy (FSA) has provided more opportunity for the facility with the abundant training grounds. Transitioning from the former Carlin Fire Sciences Academy to the Carlin Readiness Center for full use by the Office of the Military. 21

22 Carlin Readiness Center Budget was built based on the operating expenditures as reported by NSHE. Operationally the facility is in transition and there is some uncertainty as to the cost once it is fully operational. Additional considerations include: Deferred maintenance Furnishings and equipment Enhancement Unit E240 ($102,790 YR1/$47,059 Yr2) Seeks IT equipment as a coordinated effort with the Nevada National Guard to provide a complete system throughout the complex. 22

23 North Las Vegas Readiness Center Groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April of As the facility was budgeted for SFY13, there will be savings realized in personnel and utilities to revert to the General Fund. Five staff members added 3 have been hired. The remaining 2 are being actively recruited. 23

24 Las Vegas Field Maintenance Shop Scheduled for completion in August Was budgeted in SFY13 with an expected completion date of October We will end the year with excess federal authority. Four staff members will be added for the location. Planned hiring is April

25 Civil Support Team Armory 92 nd Civil Support Team 100% federally funded, equipped and trained. The team includes 22 highly skilled, full-time Army and Air National Guardsman that falls under the control of the governor. We continue to pursue federal funding for the facility approved for SFY13. 25

26 Patriot Relief Account Program Description: The Patriot Relief Fund was established as a benefit to Nevada National Guard members to reimburse college textbooks and Servicemen's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) premiums, and to provide funds for relief from financial hardship caused by the federal activation of the National Guard. Fiscal Support: The funding for the Patriot Relief Act originated through a $1,000,000 appropriation in the Biennium and an additional appropriation of $316,325 in State Fiscal Year The funds do not lapse to the State General Fund at the end of any fiscal year and those appropriations have supported the fund thus far. The fund will be almost completely expended at the end of State Fiscal Year Decision Unit E351 makes an appropriation of $100 per fiscal year for access to the Contingency Fund if required since the Reserve is being depleted. Future biennia will require additional resources and/or removing benefits in the program. The reintegration payment of $100 per soldier is recommended for removal in this biennia as this benefit is now provided federally. 26
