Maine National Guard

The Maine National Guard consists of the:
*Maine Army National Guard
*Maine Air National Guard

The headquarters for the Maine National Guard is at Camp Keyes in Augusta, Maine. The Adjutant General of Maine, Major General John W. ("Bill") Libby, commands the Maine National Guard and serves as the State's Commissioner of Defense, Veterans, and Emergency Management (DVEM).

As of 2006, the Maine Army National Guard had produced 200 "Flat Daddy" and "Flat Mommy" cutouts for the families of soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Maine program was started based on information received at a National Guard conference. The state's family-support director noted the enthusiastic response to the program, stating that "If there's something we can do to make it a little easier on the families, then that's our job and our responsibility. It brings them a little bit closer and might help them somewhere down the line." [MacQuarrie, Brian via "The Boston Globe".
