We’re pretty good at saying, “I’m good.” Even when we’re not. We show up for drill. We put on the uniform. We take care of the mission. We take care of everybody else. But sometimes the person we keep forgetting to check on is the one looking back at us in the mirror. Check on your people. Really check on them. Ask the question. Stay a little longer. Listen. #SuicideAwarenessMonth #SCNG #CheckOnYourPeople #NeverAlone

PREMIERING NOW! We were granted access inside the world of the AH-64E — from the crews who fly it to the weapons that make it one of the most formidable attack helicopters ever built. piped.video/bH_wfXwWFVk?is=sE8N…

Today, we gathered at the Pentagon alongside President Trump to remember the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families who continue to carry their loss. We will never forget.

When our country was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, our Citizen-Warriors didn’t hesitate to respond. I recently spoke with Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Lt. Gen. Marc Sasseville, former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau, and retired Maj. Heather Penney about our experiences that fateful day—and how the National Guard has evolved into the ready, lethal and operational force of today. 🇺🇸 View our full conversation here: piped.video/d1Da8yu9b-Y

Strong partnerships build a stronger hemisphere. For 14+ years, the @SCNationalGuard & Colombia have stood shoulder-to-shoulder as a part of the State Partnership Program and we are excited to support this new Chapter. 🇨🇴🤝🇺🇸#AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere
Colombia is officially joining the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C). I met with Minister of Defense Mora (@mindefensa) in Panama City today as we launched a new chapter in U.S.-Colombia defense cooperation.

UPDATE: The Adjutant General of South Carolina has lifted the administrative suspension for the eight pilots involved in the July 4th Salute From the Shores flyover. Getting these experienced aviators back to flight status ensures our peak operational readiness to support state and federal missions. The 59th Aviation Troop Command remains committed to excellence, Soldier safety, and the highest levels of professionalism. A huge thank you to our community and state leaders for the incredible outpouring of support!

Update: Salute from the Shore Flyover review: To clarify, the temporary flight suspension for our Apache pilots is a routine, non-punitive safety measure - not a disciplinary action. These Soldiers remain in good standing with the SCNG and continue daily duties on the ground. Safety is our top priority.

The 59th Troop Command marked a significant milestone as leadership passed from one dedicated commander to the next during a Change of Command ceremony at McEntire Joint National Guard Base. Col. Denton Smith relinquished command leaving behind a legacy of excellence, readiness, and commitment to Soldiers and mission. Lt. Col. Susan Hughes assumed command, bringing with her experience, vision, and a continued dedication to leading from the front. The ceremony was presided over by Brig. Gen. Linda Riedel, whose presence underscored the importance of this transition and the enduring strength of the organization. #SCNG #SCARNG #Nationalguard #changeofcommand
