South Florida Urban Search and Rescue, Florida Task Force 2, out of Miami, Fla., conduct reconnaissance missions in Bucksport, S.C., by GPS marking neighborhoods to identify areas and properties that are flooded, as a result of rising waters in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. These reconnaissance missions are critical for first responders to know exactly where citizens are, if they are in affected or potentially affected areas, and if they choose to shelter in place. Local citizens are urged to listen to their local authorities and to "turn around, don't drown" if they come across cones, barriers or flooded roads when traveling in the affected areas of S.C. The South Carolina National Guard's priority is always to ensure that all assets for any life-saving missions are in place and ready as the state sees rivers rise and flooding continues.

in this case multi-task. the first and foremost is to chase away the darkness of the winter season. general lighting would probably be second. tree-warmer would be on the list. snow melting is sort of last on the list but apparently effective. and what I find most important, heart warmer.

During the visit, which occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Connecticut National Guard’s senior leaders awarded several Task Force Iron Gray Soldiers with impact coins for going above and beyond their duty to service. Select Task Force Iron Gray Soldiers also had the opportunity to enjoy Thanksgiving lunch and dinner with the senior leaders.

Evon visited each Task Force Iron Gray unit on both Camp Lemonnier and Chabelly Airfield, Djibouti, for a mission set brief and tour of each company’s command post, and to meet with Soldiers.
