The following biography was written by Association of Marksmen in the National Guard
CW4 Ron Fleischhacker serves with the Alaska Army National Guard. He has been instrumental in the success of the Marksmanship program in the Alaska Army National Guard since his involvement began in 1986. In 1986, he received the Distinguished Rifle Award. In 1995, he received the Distinguished Pistol Award and in 1999, was awarded the Top National Guard Service Rifle in the nation. He has been an active member of the State Marksmanship Program and has competed on the state team numerous times since 1986. He consistently finished in the top 2 during the State Combat Matches held each June. Ron has been on the President's Hundred three times, on the All Guard Rifle Team since 1986, and has a High Master NRA classification (which by class alone is in the top 1% in the nation). He has distinguished himself with significant awards and honors but most of all, he continues to coach and mentor the soldiers within the AKARNG. His passion for the sport enables him to teach the fundamentals of marksmanship to a new shooter, coach a team during a combat match, and mentor the soldier who possesses a strong desire to be the best shooter. Ron can always be counted on to support the State Combat Matches; he is a permanent member of the match council and always volunteers his own time so that the matches are not only successful but that each shooter has enjoyed the experience. He is a strong advocate of the marksmanship program and continues to recruit new shooters. The AKARNG is very proud of his accomplishments, his character, his love of the sport and his dedication to fellow soldiers. Ron without a doubt brings great credit upon himself and the AKARNG.
