Lt. Col. Jason Dall & Maj. Chad Carter of the Nebraska Air National Guard’s 170th Group, exemplify the skill, professionalism & dedication of our citizen-warriors.

The Nebraska National Guard exemplifies what it means to be trained, disciplined & ready. From the 2nd Battalion, 134th Infantry Regiment, to the 72nd Civil Support Team & the 170th Group, these Soldiers & Airmen represent the full spectrum of the National Guard's missions: providing combat-ready forces to the Joint Force while standing ready to protect the homeland when disaster or crisis strikes. Honored to visit these incredible Guardsmen alongside Nebraska Lt. Gov. Joe Kelly, Maj. Gen. Craig Strong, Nebraska's adjutant general & Chief Master Sgt. Joshua Moore, Chief Master Sergeant of the @AirNatlGuard. Thank you to every Nebraska Guardsman & your families for your continued service & dedication. #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere – at Omaha, NE
