Purpose: To assess the mobilization readiness – both personal and organizational – of company-level units within the Georgia Army National Guard.

Methodology: An inspection team led by the State Inspector General consisting of 18-20 personnel spends one IDT weekend inspecting one company-size organization. The team examines a wide variety of items within the functional areas of Personnel and Administration, Training, Logistics, Command & Staff, and Safety & Physical Security. The team conducts a detailed After Action Review (AAR) on day three (Sunday) at which time the unit commander receives the inspection report, the AAR slides, and a narrative of the information collected during sensing sessions conducted with a sampling of unit members. The commander’s copy of the report is the only copy of the inspection report released outside IG channels. Within thirty days after the inspection the unit commander receives the Commander’s Action Plan, which is an Excel-based spreadsheet that provides the unit commander with a roadmap to follow as he/she and the unit leadership take action to correct deficiencies identified by the inspection team. Approximately six months after the IDT inspection, the IG section conducts a follow-up visit during the normal duty week to assess the unit’s progress towards improving its readiness posture. The results of this validation inspection are briefed to TAG, the Army Guard Chief of Staff and the unit’s command.
