In Part 3 of our Commanders Briefing podcast with Lt. Colonel (MD) Barry Greene, President of the State Guard Association of the United States, we explore a new Hazmat certification program being launched by SGAUS. Colonel Greene outlines the extensive training required to complete the course and earn the badge, emphasizing that the program is geared toward highly trained personnel such as Firefighters, EMTs, and Paramedics due to the extensive and time consuming training process. He also reflects on his experiences as a State Defense Force recruiter, highlighting the challenges of denying commissions to qualified professionals like Fire Chiefs and Police Chiefs solely because they lacked prior military service—a limitation that continues to affect many State Defense Forces across the country.
