Thanks for letting us know that US National Guard soldiers in Florida began initial search-and-rescue operations Friday in the southern parts of the state as Hurricane Matthew moved up the East Coast toward Georgia and South Carolina SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I am glad that National Guard soldiers are supporting state rescue and law enforcement efforts in their sates after years of deploying overseas.
I am also glad to learn that South Carolina activated 2,500 Guard troops as of Friday and Georgia activated were activated between 360 and 500. Troops in those states aided in evacuation efforts and were bolstering law enforcement ahead of the storm's impact.
