Major General Raymond F. Shields, the Adjutant General for the State of New York, announces the recent promotion of three Airmen at the New York Air National Guard’s 224th Air Defense Group (ADG) in recognition of their capability for additional responsibility and leadership.
Promoted Airmen, identified by their new ranks, include:
• Capt. Peter Hiffa. Hiffa is an air battle manager with the 224th Air Defense Squadron (ADS).

The 224th ADG is composed of the 224th Air Defense Squadron (ADS) and the 224th Support Squadron, located in Rome, and Detachment 1 and Detachment 2 that serve in the Washington, D.C. area. The 224th ADG provides the forces to conduct the Eastern Air Defense Sector’s (EADS) mission.
