Existing law creates the position of the Adjutant General as an appointed member of the military staff of the Governor and grants the Adjutant General the authority to appoint two Assistant Adjutants General, one each from the Nevada Army National Guard and the Nevada Air National Guard, who may serve as Chief of Staff for Army and Chief of Staff for Air, respectively. (NRS 412.044, 412.054) Section 2 of this bill authorizes the Adjutant General to appoint an additional Assistant Adjutant General from either the Nevada Army National Guard or the Nevada Air National Guard who may serve as the State Assistant Adjutant General and who is in the unclassified service of the State. Section 2 also removes: (1) the Chief of Staff for Army from the unclassified service of the State; and (2) the authorization for the Assistant Adjutants General appointed from the Nevada Army National Guard and the Nevada Air National Guard to serve as Chief of Staff for Army and Chief of Staff for Air, respectively. Section 1 of this bill makes a conforming change to increase the number of Assistant Adjutants General that the Adjutant General may appoint from two to three.
