Missouri National Guard Brigadier General Ken Eaves is set to deploy overseas in the coming weeks, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Eaves, who serves as the state’s assistant adjutant general, will be leaving behind his role overseeing the National Guard’s operations in Missouri to take on a new assignment in the Middle East.
Eaves has been a key figure in the Missouri National Guard for several years, providing leadership during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest in St. Louis. As assistant adjutant general, Eaves has been responsible for overseeing the National Guard’s state operations, including disaster response, emergency management, and military support to civilian authorities.
Eaves’ deployment comes at a critical time as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East, with ongoing conflicts and instability in the region. His expertise and leadership will be crucial in supporting the United States’ mission abroad and ensuring the safety and security of American interests in the area.
While Eaves will be greatly missed in his current role, his colleagues and fellow soldiers are confident in his abilities to succeed in his new assignment. Lieutenant Colonel Mario Profeta, a spokesperson for the Missouri National Guard, expressed his pride in Eaves and emphasized the importance of his deployment in furthering the National Guard’s mission.
As Eaves prepares to head overseas, the Missouri National Guard will continue to support and protect the citizens of Missouri under the leadership of Major General Levon Cumpton, the state’s adjutant general. The Guard remains committed to defending the nation and serving the community, both at home and abroad.
