“Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate U.S. Army LTG Jonathan Stubbs on his promotion to director of the Army National Guard. General Stubbs was appointed by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to serve as adjutant general of the Arkansas National Guard in January 2023 after a long and distinguished career in the National Guard. He first enlisted in the Army National Guard in Tennessee, but very quickly made his home in the Natural State and spent nearly three decades serving and leading citizen soldiers in Arkansas. In fact, he held every leadership position within the 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and deployed to Iraq twice during Operation Iraqi Freedom. As an Active-Guard Reserve officer from 1997-2021, Stubbs completed numerous trainings and assignments, which culminated in his promotion as chief of staff for the Arkansas Army National Guard. His entire service in uniform has been characterized by bravery and skill, earning him decorations to include the Combat Infantryman Badge, Valorous Unit Award, three Legion of Merit citations, two Bronze Star Medals, and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, among many others. His leadership potential and experience led to his appointment as vice director for operations for the National Guard Bureau in 2021, and the next year, he was assigned as the deputy director of Operations, Readiness, and Mobilization at Department of the Army Headquarters, based at the Pentagon.…”
