Members of the New York Air National Guard's 106th Rescue Wing complete the offload of evacuees from St. Maarten at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in Puerto Rico September 8, 2017. The rescue wing, staging out of San Juan, Puerto Rico with the Puerto Rica Air National Guard’s 156th Airlift Wing, provided rescue support to those requiring urgent medical care following the devastation of Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean. The 106th brought out more than 500 evacuees from St. Maarten using two HC-130 aircraft. The coordinated effort between the Department of State and Department of Defense evacuated 1,172 Americans and 35 other foreign nationals from St. Maarten with the 106th prior to the arrival of Hurricane Jose.
