Major General Boyles

On June 8, 2021, our Madison Lions Club had the privilege of hosting MS National Guard Major General Janson D. Boyles The Adjutant General, MS.

Major General Boyles was initially appointed Adjutant General of MS by Governor Phil Bryant on September 1, 2016, and reappointed Adjutant General of MS on January14, 2020 by Governor Tate Reeves. General Boyles serves as the Commanding General of Both the MS Army and Air National Guard. He is responsible for providing the state of MS and the United States of America with a ready force of more than 12,000 Citizen Soldiers and Airmen, equipped and trained to respond to any contingency, natural and manmade.

Major General Boyles is a native Mississippian in Jackson, MS. At Mississippi State University he h=is the former president of the MSU Alumni Association.

His remarks at our club meeting were educational and inspiring. There is no doubt with Major General Boyles at the helm, our men and women wearing the uniform in MS are well trained and ready to go into action.
