Brigadier General Michael S. Peyerl from Fallon Named Nevada's Newest General

Brigadier General Michael S. Peyerl, one of Fallon’s own, has been named the Nevada Guard’s newest general. As the new Brigadier General of the Civil-Military Operations Section, Peyerl will be primarily concerned with the domestic side of the Nevada Air and Army National Guard, dealing with the care and training of the men under his command, reporting directly to Major General Ondra Bery, Nevada’s Adjutant General. 

At the general’s promotion ceremony, Mayor Tedford stated, “We are pleased to have him serve as the Guard’s new Brigadier General and know that he will make Fallon proud as he leads in this position.”  

After graduating from Churchill County High School in 1991, Peyerl graduated from the University of Nevada, as a Distinguished Military Graduate. It was noted in the ceremony’s program, that Peyerl is among three other generals that have hailed from our town, calling Fallon the “The Birthplace of Generals.”
