Lt. Col. Matt Crawford, an Ohio National Guardsman from Ada, plays an integral part in protecting approximately 10,000 troops supporting Task Force Spartan throughout the Middle East.
Crawford, the 38th Infantry Division's protection chief, oversees and coordinates protection measures from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive attacks, engineer survivability and personnel recovery efforts.
“The protection warfighting function is about economy of force and ensuring forces are available to the commander when needed, which is why we have our rapid reaction forces and quick reaction force,” said Crawford.

Many people save for retirement in a 401(k), which makes a lot of sense if it’s available where you work. You can especially benefit if your employer matches your contributions and if you want to contribute to the higher threshold that 401(k)s allow. (Employees could contribute up to $19,000 to their 401(k) plan for 2019 and anyone age 50 or over was eligible for an additional catch-up contribution of $6,000 in 2019.)
However, you only had until the end of 2019 to make contributions to your 401(k). This means you can no longer put money into your 2019 401(k) if you didn't max it out.
