“I assume this trusted position with enthusiasm, gratitude, eagerness, but most important of all, with great humility. To the men and women of the Oregon Air Guard, let me convey that as your next leader, as an organization, we will continue to stay focused on the future.”-Brigadier General Donna M. Prigmore, first female to become a general in the Oregon Air National Guard

“What is the future? Without question, state and federal mission requirements are not slowing down and global varsity-level challenges will continue – it is imperative that resilient Airmen continue to be fit, deployable and can establish trusted partnerships with our coalition partners.”
Prigmore also talked about new missions for Oregon’s Air Guard: “Expanding our partnerships with organizations like the FBI, the Oregon Fusion Center, Bonneville Power Administration, and the Oregon Technology Institute…just to name a few.”
Prigmore has made a career of the military since 1982, with more than 12 of those years in command positions.
