Who is The Adjutant General (TAG) of the WAARNG?

Answer: (D)

The Adjutant General is the top Army National Guard leader in a state, responsible for the readiness, training, and operations of the state’s Army National Guard and for serving as the governor’s military advisor and the primary liaison to the National Guard Bureau. In Washington, that role is held by Major General Bret D. Daugherty. He oversees the WAARNG, directing both state emergency response and federal- mission readiness, and guides how the Guard integrates with civilian authorities during emergencies. The other names listed are not the WAARNG TAG.
