Salina Area is Considered a Jewel by Kansas National Guard
The Great Plains Joint Regional Training Center will
start development of some key projects as a result of
$9 million in funding provided by the Kansas
Legislature to the Kansas Adjutant General's
Department. The funding will help to enhance a part
of the center that has facilities in Salina, Saline
County and on the Smoky Hill Range.
The training hub will work with the Kansas National
Guard, first responders and active military to ensure
that both civilian and military are ready to work
together during a natural disaster or homeland
security event and prepare military troops for
deployment. The center will not take away from fire
department training or Kansas Law Enforcement
Training Center in Hutchinson, but will instead
provide proficiency training for civilian first responders
and military from across the state.
