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 a Deputy Adjutant General from either the Nevada Army National Guard or the Nevada Air National Guard 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 include the Deputy Adjutant General in the military staff of the Governor that the Adjutant General may appoint.
