PROVO, Utah-Utah County Commissioner Tanner Ainge has received orders to report for military training.
Ainge notified the county commission he obtained these orders from the Utah National Guard to report to training in August.
He was sworn in as a Judge Advocate General’s Corps in May.
The commission reported that while Ainge is away, he will carry out his responsibilities on a remote basis.
He also sent a letter to the commission, stating he was declining to take military leave as this scenario would create a vacancy on the commission and require an interim election.
Ainge has been ordered to take a six-week direct commission course at Fort Benning, Georgia from August 9-September 18.
