Members of Joint Task Force Alaska have been called into action to assist residents with the next stage of recovery from the destruction caused by the remnants of Typhoon Merbok.
The task force is composed of more than 120 members of Alaska’s Air and Army National Guards, Alaska Naval Militia, and the State Defense Force.
On Wednesday, HC-130 transport planes completed two round-trip flights from Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson to Nome, where equipment and personnel are staging before relocating to other villages as part of Operation Merbok Response.Some members of the task force did not have to wait for deployment from Anchorage, as they were already in the villages that were battered by the storm.
For those local service members, who are mostly members of the Alaska State Defense Force, being called to help their own friends and neighbors is an honor.
