Gov. Deal reaffirms Maj. Gen. Nesbitt

ATLANTA, Jan. 18, 2011 – Major Gen. William T. Nesbitt (left), Georgia’ Adjutant General, reaffirms his oath of office as given by Gov. Nathan Deal during a short swearing-in ceremony at the state capitol.

 

Among those attending Nesbitt’s reconfirmation as senior leader of the Georgia Department of Defense were his wife Letha; first lady Sandra Deal; Maj. Gen. Maria L. Britt, Georgia Army Guard Commander; and Command Sgt. Maj. James Nelson, the Georgia Army Guard’s senior enlisted leader and Nesbitt’s senior enlisted advisor.

 

“I am honored beyond all words at Governor Deal’s show of confidence in my leadership of the Georgia DoD,” Nesbitt said later about his reappointment to the post he has held since November 2008. “As we [the DoD, the Deal administration and the state legislature] move forward in our relationship, it must be known that the success of our organization comes from the Soldiers, Airmen and civilian employees who fill our ranks.”

 

“It is to their credit,” Nesbitt stressed, "that the Georgia DoD continues to be the organization of excellence that it is."
