Air National Guard Toolbook
Abstract
This project updates and expands an existing Air National Guard cyberbook to provide ACSC faculty, ACSC students, as well as distance learning students with a ready, up-to-date reference on the Air National Guard. Due to continuing reductions in funding and personnel, coupled with increased operational tempo, more missions and contingency support will be expected from the Reserve Components; thus a need for increased awareness and knowledge of the Reserve components as part of the Total Force structure. Active, reserve and civilian individuals would benefit from enhanced basic knowledge of the Air National Guard history, force structure and operations. This toolbook provides that knowledge. The information provided in the project is presented in a Hypertext Markup Language and civilian individuals would benefit from enhanced basic knowledge of Air National Guard history, force (HTML) format, easily accessible by most web browsers. The intent is to present an Air National Guard cyberbook that is highly usable and well integrated with the World Wide Web (WWW). This AY99 technology research effort expands and updates information presented in the old asymmetric toolbook language (Toolbook) still being used in the ACSC curriculum. This toolbook gives a brief overview of ANG Heritage, current roles and missions, brief description of the ANG Organization, and the methods by which the Guard is "called-out" or activated during federal and state emergencies. Finally, there is a US map with hyperlinks to each state and a page with several related Internet hyperlinks.
