South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
South Carolina General Assembly. Senate. Legislative Oversight Committee
Abstract
The position of Adjutant General is established by the South Carolina Constitution and is responsible for a number of subordinate organizations: S.C. Army National Guard, S.C. Air National Guard, State Guard, S.C. Emergency Management Division, S.C. Youth/Job ChalleNGe Academy, STARBASE Swamp Fox, S.C. Military Museum, and the S.C. Joint Services Detachment. The Agency is mostly federally funded and has about 12,000 members, employees, and volunteers. The S.C. Army National Guard reports that of the 65 Readiness Centers across the state, 15 are in poor condition and 34 are in fair condition, and the average age of the facilities is 39 years. The STARBASE Swamp Fox program teaches elementary students about STEM topics and should explore expanding the program to involve more students across the state. The S.C. Military Museum should coordinate its exhibits with other state-funded museums that display historical military artifacts and memorabilia. The S.C. Emergency
Management Division distributes about $3 million annually from the federal EMPG program to the counties to fund emergency management services.
