Two alumni of Georgia’s military college in Dahlonega have been tapped to lead the state’s National Guard.
On Friday, Gov. Brian Kemp named Major General Richard “Dwayne” Wilson as the incoming adjutant general (AG) for the Georgia National Guard. Kemp appointed Col. Jason Fryman to serve as assistant AG.
Wilson is a 1993 graduate of North Georgia College (now the University of North Georgia). Fryman is a 1996 graduate of the school.
Wilson, who currently serves as assistant AG, will take over as commander on May 4. He succeeds Major General Thomas Carden who has been appointed deputy commander of U.S. Northern Command at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado.
Col. Fryman currently serves as chief of staff for the Georgia Army National Guard.
