Florida has handed out grades for every school. Here’s how many ‘A’ schools are in each of our area districtsThis image provided by U.S. Air National Guard shows Lt. Gen. Steven S. Nordhaus speaking to attendees during the Ohio National Guard Joint Senior Leader Conference in Lewis Center, Ohio, Feb. 2, 2024. Nordhaus has been nominated to be the next chief of the National Guard Bureau, just a bit more than a week before the current chief retires.
His nomination is one of several top Guard jobs that have been languishing for weeks and months. The top four officers of the National Guard Bureau have left or are set to retire in early August. To date, no nominations for their replacements have been confirmed by the Senate, leaving the bureau, the Air Guard and the Army Guard without permanent leadership as they head into a busy hurricane season and a potentially challenging election period.
The nomination of Air Force Maj. Gen. Duke Pirak to become the next Air Guard director was sent to the Senate in March. He has been serving as the acting director. The lack of progress on the nominations has become a source of concern to the bureau, which oversees the training and oversight of the Guard forces who deploy on federal duty for overseas combat and to protect the homeland. The Guard chief is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and serves as a key link to the adjutant generals who command the state Guard units across the country and its territories.
