Lt. Col. Arnetta E. Minney has joined the Inspector General’s staff as deputy IG for the Alabama Army and Air National Guard. She will assist the state IG, Col. Sheri Tonner, receiving and processing requests for assistance. She will also assist in directing and conducting inquiries and investigations as directed by the Adjutant General.
