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:
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
