Brig. Gen. Michael Henderson, director of joint staff, Arkansas National Guard, met with key leaders from the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Division of Higher Education at Camp Robinson, June 25, 2026.
The Arkansas National Guard conducts regular orientation meetings with strategic partners around the state to ensure the opportunities that the National Guard offers are known to educators, local influencers, and community leaders.
“It's important to engage with the Department of Education because we have common goals,” said Lt. Col. Eric Scarbrough, recruiting and retention battalion commander, Arkansas National Guard. “We want to see Arkansans be better educated, have better jobs, grow the economy, have a better quality of life here in the state.”
Henderson briefed the educators on the resources the Arkansas National Guard can provide the state during natural disasters and rescue operations, and how those resources benefit the economic security of Arkansas.
The educators were given a tour of the Arkansas Army Aviation Support Facility where they were shown the aircraft the Arkansas National Guard uses to support local authorities around the state, and they met with the aircraft mechanics, crew chiefs, and pilots that use the aircraft everyday.
The tour is meant to showcase in real time the future their students could have in the Arkansas National Guard.
