Title: State Adjutant General
Post by: Tubacap on June 17, 2008, 10:35:53 PM
Okay I'm doing a paper on the role of the military in disasters, and so I am dealing a lot with Title 10 versus Title 32 NG deployments.

My question is, why is the State Adjutant General known as the TAG?

TAG = The Adjutant General. Saying "the TAG" is redundant, but that's how it comes out.

That is what I had thought, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks!

Most states refer to that position as the TAG to differentiate him from the state's Attorney General, who is usually AG.

That makes sense.

The Civil Air Patrol National Historian Col. Len Blascovich use to be the Adjutant General for the State of New York. He retired a few years ago.

I think he was the Adjutant for the NY State Guard, not the Adjutant General of New York.

Thanks for the help. I forgot to add that part.

TAG for The Adjutant General instead of The AG....which is usually the Attorney General.
