Summary
The Idaho National Guard unveiled a $24 million, 55,000-square-foot readiness center in Jerome—dedicated to late Governor Dirk Kempthorne, a longtime champion of the Guard. This state-of-the-art facility, the first new one built in Idaho in a century, will house the 145th Light Support Battalion and its maintenance crews, offering classrooms, secure storage, and mission planning space. Kempthorne, who served as governor and commander-in-chief during major deployments like the 2004 Iraq mission, is honored through this tribute, with his widow and officials present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
