The Idaho National Guard participated in a groundbreaking ceremony at Duck Valley Reservation in Nevada Friday, April 26, to celebrate the start of the construction of its new school, the Owyhee Combined School. The Idaho National Guard is working with the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes to provide engineers to perform the initial groundwork as part of its strong partnership with the tribes through the Innovative Readiness Training program. IRTs are U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) driven opportunities for servicemembers to work in our communities, performing deployment readiness tasks they simultaneously need to train on annually, creating a win-win for both Soldiers and Airmen and our communities. Tribal Chairman Brian Mason, Nevada’s Governor Joe Lombardo, ECSD Superintendant CJ Anderson, Vice Principal Lynn John, Assemblywoman Alexis Hansen, as well as Idaho National Guard leadership and the local community, were in attendance. #nevada #nevadatribes #shoshonepaiute #newschool #youth #educa...
