CARSON CITY, Nev. –
Brig. Gen. Troy Armstrong, Assistant Adjutant General, Nevada Army National Guard, has been selected by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to serve as the Army National Guard Deputy Commanding General at the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM)/Sustainment Center of Excellence, Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia.
CASCOM is responsible for training, educating, and developing sustainment professionals while leading sustainment capability development for Large Scale Combat Operations in a multi-domain environment.
Armstrong previously served as the Commander of the Nevada Army National Guard from November 2020 through September 2024, leading the force through critical missions, including overseas deployments and domestic response operations. During his tenure, he spearheaded force structure growth, modernization, and advocacy efforts that resulted in funding for critical training infrastructure, including weapons qualification ranges and facility improvements. These advancements strengthened readiness and ensured Nevada’s Soldiers had the resources and training necessary to support national defense objectives.
“Nevada has long been recognized as a sustainment-focused National Guard state, and I’m proud of the role we play in supporting the Army’s sustainment mission,” said Armstrong, who has commanded at multiple echelons, including the Nevada Army National Guard, the 17th Sustainment Brigade, the 17th Special Troops Battalion, and the 72nd Military Police Company. His operational deployments include multiple tours in Iraq, Kuwait, and other locations in the CENTCOM area of operations, where he led sustainment and military police operations in support of contingency and combat missions. “With one of only ten National Guard sustainment brigades, and our 17th Sustainment Brigade currently deployed in support of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Nevada continues to demonstrate its expertise in providing sustainment support across the Army. I look forward to bringing our state’s experience and best practices to CASCOM and ensuring that the Army National Guard remains fully integrated into the sustainment enterprise.”
He added: “Military service is deeply rooted in both my personal and professional life. My wife, Yvette, has been a steadfast supporter of the military community, standing by my side throughout my career and continuing to advocate for service members and their families. All my children and their spouses serve or have served in the military, representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Their collective service reflects my family's deep commitment to defending and strengthening our nation's military.”
In his civilian career, Armstrong spent 30 years serving in child welfare and public service with the Clark County Department of Family Services, where he held various leadership roles dedicated to protecting vulnerable children and families. He now serves as the Director of the Division of Child Protection Investigations for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement, overseeing investigations to ensure the safety and well-being of unaccompanied alien children in federally contracted shelters and other locations across the country.
