On Wednesday, October 18th from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm, at the Clay National Guard Center (1000 Halsey Ave., Marietta, GA 30060), BENS SE will tour the facility, speak with the Georgia National Guard (GANG) leadership and have a discussion with MG Tom Carden, the GA Adjutant General (TAG). The GANG leadership will discuss the various missions currently being executed by the GANG, their response requirements, recruiting, as well as a general overview of the GANG and their mission. This promises to be yet another great event that you don’t want to miss out on!
