Description
The OHMR is categorized as a state defense force, also called state guards or military reserves, which occupy the third tier of military forces along with the service auxiliaries (The other two tiers are the active armed services and the National Guard/Reserves). About half the states have such organizations and all the states are authorized to form them under Title 32 of the U.S. Code. The Ohio Military Reserve is itself authorized under Section 5920 of the Ohio Revised Code.
The OHMR has recently reorganized (see below) to a brigade consisting of two battalions of two companies each with an authorized strength of approximately 500 personnel and is commanded by a brigadier general. The Table of Organization provides for a third battalion and a third company in each existing battalion. The brigade’s Army-certified Food Service Section routinely supports National Guard as well as OHMR units. There are also Medical, JAG, and Chaplain detachments which interface directly with their National Guard counterparts.
Effective 1 July 2011 the Adjutant General has re-designated the OHMR Civil Support and Sustainment Brigade to the 4th Civil Support and Sustainment Brigade (CSSB)

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
