LINCOLN- With more than 35 years of military experience, Brig. Gen. Craig Strong is poised to be Nebraska's next adjutant general of the Nebraska National Guard. Strong is set to succeed Maj. Gen. Daryhl Bohac. The role oversees three sectors: the Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Gov. Pillen announced strong at a press conference late last week.

Pillen read a letter from Strong where the brigadier general wrote that service in the Nebraska National Guard is a “value-added proposition that builds exceptional citizens with personal values grounded in the ethos of duty, honor and selfless service.” Strong has a master’s degree in economics and another in strategic studies from the U.S. Army War College. Strong also has a degree from the Nebraska College of Law.

Strong, a fifth-generation Nebraskan, thanked Bohac for his guidance, which “always epitomized what it is to be a truly ethical, servant leader.” A major goal will be to secure a “future pipeline” of soldiers and airmen “looking to be part of something that is truly bigger than themselves", said Strong. Strong also received high praise from Sen. Brewer, a decorated veteran himself.
