Colonel Gives Overview of National Guard

Col. William Day, USAF, was the speaker at the chapter's February luncheon held at Dobbins Air Reserve Base Consolidated Club. Col. Day is a full time technician and the chief information officer/director of information management (CIO/DOIM) for the Georgia Army National Guard (ARNG), Information Technology Division, located at Dobbins Air Reserve Base. Col. Day provided an informative overview of his organization and how a technician functions as the CIO/DOIM for Georgia in order to keep the information technology balls juggling simultaneously. The Georgia ARNG supports numerous Defense Department and civilian agencies, as well as provides support in worldwide deployments. The ARNG soldiers in the colonel's command are seasoned veterans by now, each averaging three deployments. Some of their principle programs, when not supporting the Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security and civil authorities, are in counter-drug activities, the Youth Challenge Academy and maintaining a State Partnership Program with the Soviet state of Georgia.
