The article says that about 150 of the 1050 troops deployed are medically trained. Most will be providing support services where needed.
The national guard exists to answer the call of the state governor for all sorts of things. You’ll also see them deployed for state emergencies like a hurricane or tornado.
Think of it as a quick to mobilize population of volunteers that are trained to do various things.
- simonbarker87 5y agoYes this is one of the main benefits of having military type orgs available even if not in conflict - you have a group of proven competent people, trained to execute orders that you can deploy into a variety if situations where people power is useful/important. The British Army were used for the 2012 Olympic as marshals etc as G4S messed up the preparations.
