                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2022

  Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding 
service of Captain Julian Plamann.
  CPT Julian Plamann currently serves as the House of Representatives 
Liaison Officer for the National Guard Bureau. She ensures the National 
Guard's prompt response to the House's 435 members and staffs by 
coordinating and conducting policy briefs, preparing senior National 
Guard leaders for Congressional hearings and engagements, and planning 
and leading Congressional outreach events on Capitol Hill.
  She previously served as the Intelligence Engagement Officer for Task 
Force Spartan--Jordan where she briefed host nation general officers 
weekly on the regional intelligence picture, helped develop training 
plans to strengthen partnership capacity, and coordinated tri-lateral 
meetings to enhance intelligence sharing.
  CPT Plamann is a proud member of the 34th Infantry Division Red 
Bulls. She has served at a variety of levels within the Division as 
Platoon Leader, Tactical Intelligence Officer, and ACE Targeting 
Officer.
  In 2015, CPT Plamann was chosen for the position of Aide de Camp to 
the Deputy Commanding General of U.S. Army Africa in Vicenza, Italy. In 
this capacity, she acted as the in-person staff representative for the 
General, traveled monthly to the continent of Africa to participate in 
training exercises with partner nations, and arranged routine meetings 
with Embassy staff, attaches, and Security Cooperation Teams in 
country.
  In 2019, CPT Plamann was selected for the Army Congressional 
Fellowship. As a Defense Fellow for Congressman Anthony Brown, she 
delivered clear military perspective on all proposed policies and 
covered the Department of Defense response to COVID-19. During the 
pandemic, she identified a policy gap for servicemembers and 
successfully added an amendment to the FY21 NDAA to ensure all Guard 
and Reserve members receive a good year toward retirement for the set 
duration of the presidentially declared emergency.
  CPT Plamann graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2005 with a 
Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. She holds a masters 
degree in Legislative Affairs from George Washington University.
  CPT Julian Plamann is a true American who chose to answer the call to 
serve our country. It is an honor to recognize her incredible service 
history that is a true depiction of her dedication to the National 
Guard. I wish her the best as she begins her new role with the National 
Guard Association of the United States.
