The Tennessee National Guard continues to provide support in areas impacted by severe flooding following Hurricane Helene.
Soldiers and Airmen are providing 24-hour, ground and aerial rescue and relief support to those in need.
Service members from the 1-230th Assault Helicopter Battalion have rescued 103 citizens and have airlifted over 45,000 pounds of aid and equipment.
Additionally, Guardsmen from the 176th Combat Service Support Battalion are using more than 30 Medium and Light Medium Tactical Vehicles to transport personnel and supplies in and out of the affected areas.
All these missions are being coordinated through the Tennessee Military Department’s Joint Emergency Operations Center, which was established prior to Hurricane Helene making landfall.
