2 Illinois Department of Military Affairs | Biennial Report 2007-2008

On behalf of the men and women 

of the Illinois National Guard and 

the employees of the Department 

of Military Affairs, I am pleased 

to present the Biennial Report of 

the Illinois Department of Military 

Affairs for Fiscal Years 2007 & 2008, 

as required by state statute.

During the 2007-2008 biennial 

period, the men and women of the 

Illinois National Guard continued to 

maintain the high degree of readiness 

and training needed to perform their 

federal, state and community roles.

I am proud and honored to 

represent these dedicated men and 

women as The Adjutant General.

Wherever and whenever they 

have been called on to serve, whether 

it was along the Mississppi River 

during the Flood of 2008 or overseas, 

they have done so in an exemplary 

manner and have set a high standard 

for others to follow.

In the tradition and spirit of the 

National Guard, our Soldiers and 

Airmen willingly made career, family 

and personal sacrifices to help ensure 

the safety and security of the citizens 

of Illinois during State Active Duty 

support to flood relief along the 

Mississippi River in June 2008. We 

also prepared our Soldiers for the 

largest overseas deployment since 

World War II.

Some have made the ultimate 

sacrifice in answering our nation’s 

call in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Since operations began, the 

Illinois National Guard has seen 

18 of its brave Citizen Soldiers and 

Airmen lose their lives in the service 

of our nation. We will never forget 

their service and sacrifice.

Your strong leadership as 

Governor and Commander-in-Chief 

has greatly contributed to all that we 

have achieved during the past two 

years. Your support on legislation, 

both at the state and federal 

levels, has been critical and your 

support, especially during the many 

mobilizations over the past two years, 

shows your genuine concern for the 

welfare of those in uniform and those 

in the department who work on their 

behalf.

The men and women of the 

Department of Military Affairs – both 

Guard members and state employees 

– are proud of what they do and stand 

ready to serve our nation, our state 

and our individual communities.

I know you share the same sense 

of pride and gratitude I feel for all 

that the Illinois National Guard 

and DMAIL employees have done 

and the sacrifices they have made 

here at home and around the world. 

As we look to the future, I have 

every confidence that the Illinois 

National Guard and the Department 

of Military Affairs will meet every 

challenge and succeed at every 

mission they are given.

Maj. Gen. Enyart is the 37th Adjutant 

General of Illinois. He is responsible for the 

daily operations of the Illinois Department 

of Military Affairs and the Illinois National 

Guard.

The Adjutant General has statutory 

responsibility for carrying out the policies 

of the Governor, issuing orders in his name 

and serving as his immediate advisor on all 

military matters.

He is also responsible for planning, 

developing and executing plans and 

programs, and equipping and mobilizing 

the Illinois National Guard for use in 

national defense and state defense or 

emergency.

In addition, The Adjutant General is 

charged with the preservation of military 

colors, flags, guidons and military trophies 

of war belonging to the State of Illinois.

Dear Governor Blagojevich ...

 Message from The Adjutant General
Illinois Department of Military Affairs | Biennial Report 2007-2008 3

 The Department

The Illinois National Guard, a joint Army and 

Air Force organization, operates under the Illinois 

Department of Military Affairs and is commanded 

by The Adjutant General, a two-star general 

appointed by the Governor.

The Illinois Army National Guard is 

approximately 10,000 strong, while the Illinois 

Air National Guard comprises about 3,100, for 

a combined strength of 13,100 members. Under 

Department of Defense plans, the Illinois National 

Guard stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the active 

duty components in providing our nation’s defense 

capability.

The Illinois Army National Guard maintains 

53 armories (50 state-owned, two leased and one 

federally owned), one state headquarters facility, 

two outdoor weapons ranges, three training areas 

and 43 vehicle storage/maintenance buildings in 47 

communities throughout the state. The Illinois Air 

National Guard maintains large flying bases at two 

civilian airports and at one active U.S. Air Force 

Base.

The Illinois Department of Military Affairs, 

headquartered at Camp Lincoln in Springfield, 

is responsible for all matters relating to the 

Illinois National Guard. As a department of state 

government, DMAIL oversees and manages the 

daily operations of the Illinois National Guard and 

its related activities.

The department became a part of the executive 

branch of state government July 8, 1957, as 

currently stipulated by the Illinois Compiled 

Statutes, Chapter 20, Act 1805. The department is 

the official channel of communication between the 

federal government and the State of Illinois on all 

matters relating to the Illinois National Guard.

State funding is under the supervision of the 

Comptroller Division of the department. Federal 

appropriations are supervised by the U.S. Property 

and Fiscal Officer for Illinois. The department 

brings in significant federal dollars to the state 

through personnel, equipment and training support 

funds for operations, training exercises and 

assigned missions.

Headquartered at Camp Lincoln in Springfield, the Illinois Department 

of Military Affairs is the state agency responsible for the daily administration of all matters relating to the Illinois National Guard.

The National Guard is unique from other Reserve components 

because of its dual mission. Not only is the Guard a vital part of the 

Defense Department’s “total force” concept, it is also a key resource 

available to the Governor with an ongoing state mission. When natural disaster, civil disturbance or other state emergency strikes, the 

Illinois Guard is trained and ready to respond.
