The Guard has been in the fight since the beginning. The problem is what we are able to do and legally do. Readiness will be affected before this is over. Great post

Thank you to our nurses!

Thank you my friend Maj Robert Thornton for making us aware that the USAF deployed medical teams consisting 'primarily of nurses and will divide into specialty units to assist staffs at medical centers in Minot, Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks. The relief effort comes after the Federal Emergency Management Agency fulfilled an aid request submitted by Gov. Doug Burgum, according to a press statement released Thursday, Nov. 19."
I expect these are US Air National Guard medical teams which are deploying to assist the medical triage and treatment processes in North Dakota.
Best wishes and prayers for success of this deployment.
