The Council of Governors meeting at the Camp Dodge Joint Maneuver Training Center in Johnston, Iowa is historic in nature, as this is the first Council of Governors meeting held on a state military installation. Camp Dodge serves as the headquarters of the Iowa National Guard and is a regional training base in the Midwest for National Guard, Reserve, and Active Duty forces. Governors were joined by senior federal leaders, including Eric Fanning, Secretary of the Army, Gen. Frank Grass, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, Gen. Lori Robinson, Commander of U.S. Northern Command, Michael Daniel, Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator, and Craig Fugate, Administrator, Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Council of Governors was established by the National Defense Authorization Act in 2008 to strengthen further partnership between the Federal and State governments as it pertains to national security. The council is balanced by political party and serves the nation as a whole. The governors serve two-year terms and are appointed by the President. The President designates two members of different political affiliations to serve as co-chairs of the Council.
