Air National Guard has new deputy director

The Air National Guard has a new deputy director.

Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Moisio, an Arizona Guardsman, will succeed Brig. Gen. Stanley Clarke III, who took a position as the military assistant to the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff, Strategic Plans and Programs last year.

He will assist Wyatt in formulating, developing and coordinating all policies, plans and programs affecting more than 106,000 Air Guard members serving in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.

Moisio is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and has piloted A-7D Corsair and A-10 Warthog close-air-support aircraft, finishing his active duty career as an A-10 instructor pilot before joining the Guard in 1984. His most recent assignment was as the commander of the 162nd Fighter Wing at Tucson International Airport in Arizona.
