They're keeping their heads down and watching what they say at National Guard headquarters in Wisconsin in the wake of news that Guard boss, Brig. Gen. Donald Dunbar, is the object of an Air Force Inspector General investigation.

"We're hoping Lt. Col. Jackie Guthrie (Guard spokesperson) gets a look-see, too," said an officer who wants to remain anonymous.

While the probe is on, Dunbar is unable to be recognized at the federal level as a flag officer. In fact, it is going on three years since political pal, Gov. Jim Doyle, promoted Dunbar from colonel to one-star and adjutant general of the state guard.

DUNBAR CAN STILL CONTINUE ON AS STATE ADJUTANT GENERAL
SERVES AT THE PLEASURE OF THE GOVERNOR

If Dunbar knows what the investigation is about, he's not talking.

However, even if his federal recognition fails to materialize, Dunbar, under state regulations, can continue as boss of the Wisconsin guard. He's a brigadier general in Wisconsin, but at the Pentagon in Washington, Dunbar would be seen as holding the permanent rank of colonel.

The officer joined the Air Force back in 1983 and has flown both B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers.

Prior to Doyle plucking him from the ranks and making him Guard chief, Dunbar was commander of the 128th Air Refueling Wing, based in Milwaukee.
