State-activated Guard units from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida are continuing to save and serve their neighbors in the devastated Appalachians after Helene’s destruction.
Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. (November 1, 2024): In this touching photo by Senior Airman Mary Bowers, Senior Airman Samuel Koopmans, an 819th Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron engineer, reunites with his loved ones after returning from Tinian Island. He along with thousands of Airmen have been called back to the Pacific to reopen Tinian, the same airfield that was used in the first and only use of nuclear weapons in war. Members of the 819th RHS returned home from a six-month deployment where they teamed up with U.S. Navy Seabees to assess and prepare the WWI-era Tinian airfield for paving.
Tinian is part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, an American territory north of Guam and about 1,500 miles east of the Philippines. The remote island is less than 40 square miles across and is one of three sparsely populated islets in the Western Pacific Ocean. Tinian forms the U.S.'s westernmost frontier, along with the major military hub of Guam some one hundred miles to the south. The island is a similar distance to China and other flashpoints in Asia.
