John S. Tuohy is a Brigadier General in the United States Air Force and the current Assistant Adjutant General and Commander of the Washington Air National Guard (WA ANG), in which capacity he commands 34 units and the 2,100 personnel attached to those units. General Tuohy is responsible to The Adjutant General of Washington, Major General Bret D. Daugherty, “to prepare, implement and administer plans, policies and programs to effectively organize, staff, equip and train units for state and federal mobilization."

Prior to his current assignment, then Colonel Tuohy served as the Washington National Guard's Director of United States Property and Fiscal Office, in which capacity he was primarily responsible for receiving and accounting for all funds and property - in excess of $1,300,000,000 - of the United States in the possession of the Washington National Guard and ensuring that Federal funds were "obligated and expended in conformance with applicable statutes and regulations."
The son of a United States Navy petty officer, whose service during World War II ended with an honorable discharge for medical reasons after his PBY Catalina crashed on a training exercise, Tuohy was born on 23 November 1956 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
