Governor Brian P. Kemp congratulated Major General Richard “Dwayne” Wilson on his selection to become the Adjutant General of the Georgia National Guard, effective May 4, 2024. This follows Major General Thomas Carden's appointment to Deputy Commander of the United States Northern Command/Vice Commander of the United States Element, North American Aerospace Defense Command, at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado. Major General Wilson has served as the Assistant Adjutant General of the Georgia Army National Guard since October of 2020.

"On behalf of all Georgians, I want to congratulate Major General Wilson on this new position of leadership as he continues his service to our state and Armed Forces," said Governor Brian Kemp. "I look forward to working with him to ensure the safety and well-being of the people of Georgia. Marty, the girls, and I also want to extend our congratulations and thanks to Major General Carden, who has served with great distinction during his time as the Adjutant General. We wish him the best as he takes on this important and prominent new position, making Georgia proud as he helps to defend Americans on a national level."

Colonel Jason Fryman has been selected to fill the role of Assistant Adjutant General for the Georgia Army National Guard, following Major General Wilson's promotion to the Adjutant General.

"The entire Kemp family is grateful for Colonel Fryman's continued willingness to serve in this new capacity," said Governor Brian Kemp. "We look forward to his contributions in this leadership role and his ongoing commitment to the Guard and Georgians everywhere."
