Col. Jon Eisberg rejoined the NGAUS staff on April 1, 2025, as vice president for government affairs. This year, he retired from the Guard after 35 years of military service.
The one-time member of the NGAUS legislative team who left 22 years ago to begin a series of significant positions in the Active Guard and Reserve program is set to bring his vast experience back to the association.
Prior to joining the NGAUS staff, he served as senior policy advisor on Army National Guard matters on the Pentagon’s Reserve Forces Policy Board.
At NGAUS, he'll help develop the association’s legislative game plan and execute it on Capitol Hill.
In addition to his legislative advocacy at NGAUS and NGB, he was on the staff of Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vt., who served in the Senate from 1989 to 2007.
Eisberg’s position advising the RFPB is part of a series of assignments that have taken him across the country and around the world.
He previously was dean of students, an assistant professor and the senior National Guard chair at National War College, National Defense University in Washington, D.C.
He also spent time as director of training and operations at the Professional Education Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. An earlier tour saw him as the bilateral affairs officer and deputy chief of the Office of Defense Cooperation under U.S. European Command at the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Eisberg’s time in Sarajevo from 2006 to 2009 was another full circle in his career. He was a platoon leader with a Maryland Army Guard cavalry squadron serving on the Bosnia peacekeeping mission in 2001.
He later deployed as information operations chief and targeting officer with a joint special operations command task force during Operation Enduring Freedom.
Eisberg also held several positions at NGB, where he contributed to Guard plans in the war fight, homeland defense and civil support operations.
He began his military career as an enlisted seaman in the Navy. He had multiple occupational specialties, including as a helicopter search-and-rescue swimmer.
