Career
Dunbar joined the Air Force in August 1983 and trained at Reese Air Force Base. He first came to Wisconsin in March 2005 to command the 128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. Following a tour of duty in the Iraq War, Dunbar was named Adjutant General of Wisconsin by Jim Doyle in 2007. Dunbar was asked to resign in December 2019 by Governor Evers after a scathing federal report found the Wisconsin National Guard had been grossly mishandling soldiers' sexual assault and harassment complaints for years. In 2023, the federal government sued (and came to a resolution) with the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs for a 2016 glaring violation of Title VII regarding pay discrimination on the basis of sex. Dunbar had offered a salary below the posted salary range to a highly qualified female candidate (the most qualified candidate) for a position within Wisconsin Emergency Management. This was 11% below that of the outgoing male employee in that position. After the woman turned down the position and it was reposted, Dunbar offered three men in succession more than $8,000 more than the woman, all three being less qualified than her.
