to support the Alabama State Military Department. Signing the order revitalizes the Joint Enlistment Enhancement Program to ensure the Alabama National Guard remains always ready. The order directs the Alabama State Military Department to issue regulations to motivate soldiers, airmen, qualified retirees and other department employees to assist in the Army and Air National Guard’s recruitment efforts.
This will be completed by providing financial incentives to those who give a lead to a recruiter that results in an enlistment into the ALNG. Additionally, Air National Guard recruiting and retention personnel will be able to receive bonus payments for surpassing their annual requirements. “We call on the men and women of the Alabama National Guard often, so to ensure Alabama’s force stands ready, we have to continue increasing our support for them,” said Ivey. Whether it’s responding to national defense requirements, supporting overseas combat operations or serving Alabama communities during emergencies and disasters, Ivey aims to make Alabama’s Guard the strongest and most effective in the nation. “This year marks significant momentum for the Alabama National Guard. Governor Ivey’s JEEP executive order strengthens our ability to recruit, retain and support the talented men and women who choose to serve, ensuring we remain ready to meet any mission,”The department will be required to deliver a report, demonstrating the effectiveness of the program, to the governor at the conclusion of each fiscal year.12's Day of Giving: ALEA donates food, bikes for kids12's Day of Giving: Guild Mortgage donates haul from Toys For Tacos
