ESGR bridges gap between employers, Guard &
Reserve
With our nation’s military
relying so heavily on
a “volunteer force,” it has become increasingly important to
improve employers’ understanding of the role the National Guard and
Reserves.
Our own John Paddock is training
coordinator for the New York Committee of the Employer Support for the Guard
and Reserve (ESGR), an organization created in 1972 to promote cooperation and
understanding between civilian employers and military Reserve component
members.
Today, 50 percent of our 2.4
million member military is comprised of National Guard and Reserve members,
compared to 30 percent of the 4.2 million total military manpower in the 1980s.
This results in our civilian
forces spending more time away from the workplace defending the country both in
operations and in training.
John Paddock and the ESGR work
to develop community understanding of this role the Guard and Reserves play in
the current military through employer support, outreach and providing mediation
services between the guardsmen/reserves and their employers.
Another interesting component of
the ESGR are boss-lifts, in which employers can have their boss taken up into a
KC 135 Stratotanker Aircraft. The
KC 135 provides the core aerial refueling capability for the U.S. Air
Force. During the boss lift,
participants are able to witness up close in-air the refueling of F16 Fighter
Falcon aircraft.
For more information about the
ESGR and how you or your employer can help out contact John Paddock or visit
the Web site at www.esgr.mil
