Congratulations to Colonel Donald Dunbar of New Berlin on being selected by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle to be the next Adjutant General of Wisconsin.
Dunbar is currently the Commander of the 128th Air Refueling Wing of Milwaukee.
The 128th has successfully supported many critical missions overseas, including Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Pacific Tanker Task Force in Guam, and Iceland Tanker Task Force. The unit has also achieved its goals at home, giving aid to Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts and assisting in border patrols between the United States and Mexico.
Dunbar will assume his duties as Wisconsin’s Adjutant General on September 1, 2007. The Adjutant General is Wisconsin’s senior military officer and commander of the Wisconsin Air and Army National Guard. Dunbar will also be in charge of the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Management, that coordinates statewide preparations for enemy attack, natural and man-made disasters. The Adjutant General also acts as Wisconsin’s chief homeland security advisor and is the chairman of the Governor’s Homeland Security Council.
Dunbar’s command of over 900 personnel at the 128th Air Refueling Wing, and his maintaining the worldwide readiness of this special unit give him the skills and expertise to lead Wisconsin’s Air and Army National Guard. The state of Wisconsin and America at this crucial time in our history needs Dunbar’s military knowledge and guidance.
The city of New Berlin, the state of Wisconsin, and the entire country are very fortunate to benefit from his expertise and achievements. I am confident Dunbar will serve America well. I salute and congratulate Colonel Dunbar and wish him the very best as Wisconsin’s new Adjutant General.
