00:00.342 --> 00:03.342
(upbeat rock music)

00:04.240 --> 00:09.240
- I've been on orders now
about a little over 90 days.

00:10.190 --> 00:13.110
I'm a member of Task
Force Sustainment East.

00:13.110 --> 00:15.540
This experience has
allowed me to really see

00:15.540 --> 00:18.100
the impact of COVID on our local community

00:18.100 --> 00:22.160
and see the need that is
needed within the community,

00:22.160 --> 00:25.260
within our counties here in
West Virginia and the panhandle,

00:25.260 --> 00:27.870
and it shows just how big of an impact

00:27.870 --> 00:29.710
the West Virginia Air National Guard

00:29.710 --> 00:31.690
and the Army National
Guard in West Virginia

00:31.690 --> 00:34.040
has and can have on the community.

00:34.040 --> 00:37.550
Normally, we team up with another team

00:37.550 --> 00:39.240
that's farther down in the state,

00:39.240 --> 00:40.810
and we meet at a middle point.

00:40.810 --> 00:43.600
We pick up supplies from them
then bring them back here,

00:43.600 --> 00:46.230
so it can sorted by
county and then delivered

00:46.230 --> 00:48.040
into each county individually.

00:48.040 --> 00:51.210
So it allows hospitals such
as Berkeley County Hospital

00:51.210 --> 00:54.900
to continue to operate and
get the supplies they need.

00:54.900 --> 00:57.150
It also allows the Berkeley
County School District,

00:57.150 --> 00:59.930
the Jefferson School
District, Hardy, Morgan,

00:59.930 --> 01:03.120
Pendleton, and Grant
School Districts to open up

01:03.120 --> 01:05.403
and get back to a
somewhat normal schedule.
