The Governor is tapping Brigadier General Andrew Chevalier as the next Adjutant General and Commanding General of the Rhode Island National Guard.
“Brigadier General Chevalier is a well-rounded, proven leader with a track record of excellence in planning, management, and logistics,” said Governor Dan McKee. “His rise through the ranks has given him unique insight and perspective on how to best lead the National Guard. I am grateful to him and his family for their continued service, and I look forward to the years ahead for the Rhode Island National Guard.”
“I am truly honored to be selected as the 45th Rhode Island Adjutant General and look forward to serving with and commanding the incredible men and women of the Rhode Island National Guard,” said Brigadier General Chevalier. “Major General Callahan is a remarkable leader, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come.”
Brigadier General Chevalier has more than 35 years of experience in the Rhode Island National Guard (RING) and currently serves as RING’s Director of the Joint Staff. He is responsible for overseeing the operations of more than 3,100 servicemembers.
He is replacing Brigadier General Christopher Callahan who is retiring.
