MISSION STATEMENT
Colonel Richard A.
Weaver
Post Commander
Camp Ripley is the second largest National
Guard Training Site within the United States. It is the most modern training facility in
the reserve components and is a major training asset to the entire military community.
Camp Ripley has three primary missions. First, to provide a first class training site and
top-notch support for units to training Soldiers to support National Security objectives;
second, provide resources and training that assist in the protection of life, property and
preserve peace, order and public safety for the State of Minnesota; third, participate in
local, state and national programs that add value to our community.
|
The mission of adding value to the community continues to increase as great strides have been made in cooperation and collaboration with other governmental agencies. |
| The Enforcement Division of the Department of Natural Resources now does all of their training at Camp Ripley. The State Patrol continues to conduct a Rookie School at the Camp and the Police Academy will be conducting their first course in 2002 at Camp Ripley. The Camp continues to see a significant increase in the use of our facilities by law enforcement agencies across the state. Camp Ripley has entered into educational partnerships with St. Cloud State University, the Mid-State Educational District and Little Falls School District. These partnerships are giving students both at the secondary and post secondary levels the chance for internship and shadow opportunities in many vocational areas. | |
Every member of the Camp Ripley team takes all of our missions very seriously and works extremely hard to provide outstanding customer service to all of our military and civilian customers. We are committed to total quality and will continue to seek additional ways to cooperate and collaborate with all governmental agencies to provide opportunities for cost effective delivery of services to those agencies and the taxpayers. We are dedicated to the vision of being a "Premier Training Center dedicated to Customer Loyalty".
Camp Ripley personnel come from several surrounding communities. In addition to their role as citizen Soldiers, they serve their communities in a variety of ways such as church and town councils, fire and police departments, chambers of commerce, a wide range of service clubs, and numerous other volunteer activities. We are extremely proud of our 550 full-time and 850 drilling members. Their efforts here as well as in their home communities are truly a positive force in Central Minnesota.
The outstanding support received from our local communities is greatly appreciated. Through mutual cooperation and working together, we will secure the continued development of our local economy. Thanks for your support.
