INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana National Guard’s director of the joint staff, Ronald WestfaIl, received the rank of brigadier at Joint Force Headquarters. Indiana's Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Courtney P. Carr, promoted Col. Westfall during a ceremony Dec. 11.
Westfall serves as the chief of staff for the Indiana Air and Army National Guard, more than 14,000 Hoosier Guardsmen, civilian employees and volunteers.
During the ceremony, Westfall thanked the people important in his life and military career.
“My original intent was to thank everyone who played a role in helping me to get to this point in my life and my career, but I realized that would be impossible,” said Westfall. “Because every single person in this room, along with so many others whom I have had the pleasure to know – my family, my friends, those whom I work with and have served alongside over the course of my life – each of you have played a role.”
Westfall most recently served as the vice chief of staff, Indiana National Guard, Joint Force Headquarters, prior to his present assignment. Other assignments included director of strategic initiatives and commander of the 76th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. He also started his career as an enlisted soldier prior to commissioning as a second lieutenant from the Indiana Military Academy in 1986.
Westfall, a resident of Mooresville, Indiana, became joint staff director for the Indiana National Guard in August 2015. He has deployed three times: to Bosnia in 2002 as the Camp McGovern force protection officer; to Iraq in 2003 as the executive officer with 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry Regiment; and to Iraq in 2008 as the 1st Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment commander.
