9/11/01 The Naval Militia was on the water ferrying people back and forth, the Disaster Medical Assistance team, provided. Pharmaceutical support. The chaplains provided support throughout Operation Noble Eagle.
The Officers and men (and women) who had trained quite a few of the National Guard troops serving at the time manned the Joint Operations Center (JOC) allowing young lieutenants to run around and do whatever it is that young lieutenants do.
Other members guarded Earl Naval Weapons station. If my memory is correct 98% of the cost was reimbursed by FEMA
There were many other missions that I can not think of as I sit her on vacation
