What IG do I or my family speak to if I am mobilized/deployed?

Inspector General "coverage" is typically based on geographic location or unit affiliation, therefore:

  • If you are at your home station, contact the Kansas National Guard Inspector General.
  • If you are at the mobilization station (i.e.: Camp Shelby, Camp Atterbury, Fort Dix, etc.), contact the local installation (fort/base) Inspector General.
  • If you are deployed to a theater outside the U.S., (i.e.: Iraq, Afghanistan), contact the higher headquarters or local Inspector General.
  • If you are deployed to an area of operation inside the U.S. (i.e.: Arizona, Louisiana, Kentucky, etc.), contact the nearest installation/division/wing or your home state's Inspector General's office.

When in doubt as to whether or not the Kansas National Guard Inspector General will have "jurisdiction" over your case, don't hesitate to contact us at 785-646-0020/0021/0022,0024 and we will advise accordingly.

For family members of deployed Soldiers/Airmen:

The families of Soldiers/Airmen who are deployed are assigned a Family Assistance Center (FAC) Specialist, and that FAC Specialist should be their first point of contact when assistance is needed.

If the Soldier, Airman or family member is associated with a unit not deployed, they can still contact the State Family Program Office. State Family Support Services personnel are available at 785-646-0165.

If the issue remains unresolved and after appropriate agency failed to respond in a timely manner, then family members should contact the Kansas National Guard Inspector General or other Inspector General's office.
