The Ohio Military Reserve serves under the Governor as Commander In Chief through the office of the Adjutant General and is headquartered at Rickenbacker ANGB near Columbus, Ohio and Camp Perry near Port Clinton, Ohio . In order to accomplish this primary mission to aid civil authorities most OHMR units are trained and organized as Military Police . There are also Medical, JAG , and Chaplain detachments. The OHMR also maintains a military training academy to conduct state versions of standard professional development courses such as Basic Entry Level Training (required for all non-prior service personnel), Primary Leadership Development Course, Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course, and the Basic Officer Course. The OHMR is divided into multiple Brigades that cover the entire geography of the state of Ohio . Each brigade is subdivided into a Headquarters Company and one or more Military Police battalions. Most line units are staffed with a higher average proportion of Officers and Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) than their corresponding active duty counterparts. This is reflective of the OHMR's historical mission of serving as a leadership and training cadre that can be expanded rapidly in the event of a statewide emergency. As a practical matter it also reflects the high proportion of prior service military personnel who are permitted to enter the OHMR at their former rank. The OHMR is categorized as a State Defense Force which occupy the third tier of the Total Force Concept 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. Promotions are generally dependant on time in grade / time in service, satisfactory duty performance (including drill attendance), and completion of professional development courses. Advanced Officer and NCO coursework consists largely of online courses available through the U.S. Army Independant Professional Development program (AIPD)and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Senior Officers are required to complete the non-residency portions of the active duty Command and General Staff Course and the War College. The OHMR has a "sister service", the Ohio Naval Militia which operates out of Camp Perry , located near Port Clinton, Ohio .
