Community Spotlight: Remiker promoted as Brigadier General in National Guard

The next time you meet up with Algoma Police Chief Randy Remiker, you will be in the presence of a newly promoted Brigadier General.  Remiker was promoted to that rank in a ceremony in Sante Fe, New Mexico, on February 3rd. A member of the New Mexico National Guard, Remiker has maintained his military career after moving back to Wisconsin and becoming Algoma's police chief in 2019. Remiker, who began his military career in 1992 with the Minnesota National Guard's 34 Infantry Division, transferred to the New Mexico National Guard in 1998. He says he is thankful to all the general officers who influenced him and the support from his family and the Algoma Police Department to continue his service, which requires monthly flights back to New Mexico for weekend training.

 

 

Remiker has been awarded the Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two Meritorious Service Medals, and the Combat Action Badge.  Assigned as the New Mexico National Guard's Director of the Joint Staff, you can listen to the entire conversation with Randy Remiker on the podcast page here.
