In this Commanders Briefing podcast clip, we sit down with the Commanding General of The South Carolina State Guard (SCSG) to discuss key updates about the force. The conversation covers how large The SCSG is today and their recent transition from being an all-volunteer, non-paid force to one that is now compensated for each training drill and during State Active Duty. We also explore the benefits that come with this change and highlight the employment of a full-time administrative staff to support the Guard’s operational needs, marking a significant shift in their structure and capabilities.
Special Thank you To Major General Leon Lotts, Captain Joseph Goldsmith & Captain David Finleyson
