As nationwide COVID-19 infections surge, more than 15,600 National Guard members are supporting state and local officials throughout the country.
Of those responding, more than 6,000 Guard members are providing direct support to hospitals, care centers and other medical facilities.
“From the beginning of the pandemic, National Guard men and women in each [of] the 50 states, three territories and the District of Columbia, have been on the front lines,” said Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau. “We continue to work closely with the states to ensure our Soldiers and Airmen are meeting their needs.”
