Adjutant general
The interim adjutant general is Brigadier General Brigadier General David W. May.[2] On June 6, 2024, Major General Paul E. Knapp resigned.[3] Knapp had previously assumed command from interim Adjutants General Brigadier General Joane K. Mathews and Brigadier General Gary L. Ebben.[4] Ebben took command from Major General Donald P. Dunbar following the latter's resignation after a federal report found he had "willfully ignored sexual assault allegations" in the Wisconsin National Guard.[5] Prior to the change in command, Ebben was the Deputy Adjutant for the Wisconsin Air National Guard. He continued this role concurrently with the interim position.[6] Major General Dunbar had been the state adjutant general since 2007.
