Hodges to name Siegfried to head state security
Governor Jim Hodges is expected to name former Fort Jackson commander Major General Steve Siegfried to oversee South Carolina state security. The role would liaise between the National Guard and U S military operations, similar to the national Office of Homeland Security. Siegfried, a 34 year Army veteran, led Fort Jackson and later headed a sexual harassment investigation panel. Hodges’ spokeswoman would not confirm the report, saying an announcement was expected the next day.
