RICHMOND, Va. — Dozens of Virginia National Guard soldiers and airmen are stationed across Virginia to assist as winter weather moves through the Commonwealth.
"This is what the National Guard is all about,” Brig. Gen. Todd Hubbard said. "Our soldiers and airmen were in the right place at the right time to augment local emergency response efforts to help our fellow Virginians in a time of need. I am really proud of how adaptable, flexible, and resilient our personnel have been in rapidly changing situations. Now we have been able to position additional forces at key locations in advance of a potentially hazardous snowstorm, and our troops will be ready to go if needed. I want to once again thank our families and employers for their continued support, which is so critical to mission success.”
Following the last winter storm, the Guard distributed water and food, helped with evacuations, and cleared trees and other debris.
