    U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Timothy L. Rieger, Acting Vice Chief for the National Guard Bureau, presents the Distinguished Service Award to Maj. Gen. R. Van McCarty, the former adjutant general of the South Carolina National Guard, during McCarty's retirement ceremony at the Lexington District 2 Performing Arts Center, West Columbia, South Carolina, May 31, 2025. As the 29th adjutant general for South Carolina, McCarty led the development of Blueprint for Excellence, the South Carolina National Guard’s first strategic plan since 2017. The plan revolved around 3 organizational priorities, optimized workforce, enhanced readiness, and deliberate modernization, supported by areas of emphasis, namely reformed governance, targeted communication, and innovative partnerships. The Blueprint for excellence remains the foundation of the South Carolina Military Department’s strategic posture today. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Ana-Grace Catoe)
