BART O. DAVIS, after a 35-year career holding ranks from E1 to E7 and 01 to 06 retired from the Utah National Guard in November of 2000. He managed his own business, B&K Solutions, LLC., a professional conflict resolution organization from 1998 until this last February when he accepted the position as the Transition Assistance Advisor for the state of Utah.

The Transition Assistance Advisor position is a partnership between the National Guard Bureau and the Veterans Administration to educate and assist National Guard and Reserve service members regarding their earned benefits and how to obtain available services for themselves and their families.

Bart has spent most of his adult life in and around the military and veterans’ organizations and has first-hand experience in mobilizations, combat operations, post-mobilizations and the daunting challenges of rebuilding relationships after long periods of separation from family and friends in high stress environments.

In 1968-69 he served in Viet Nam with the Idaho National Guard leaving a three year old daughter and a young wife who was expecting their son, (now an Apache pilot with the Utah National Guard). His experience as a soldier, husband and father gives him a unique ability to understand and assist service members cope with the challenges of their chosen profession.

Ensure ALL deployed veterans and their families have the knowledge

and ability to access the benefits and services they have earned.

Establish a uniform process to educate, assist all service members and families in

obtaining services, and provide on going readjustment support.
