Special operators assigned to the 125th Special Tactics Squadron, Oregon Air National Guard, conduct goodwill checks, handing out food and water to residents of Marathon Island in the Florida Keys, Sept. 12, 2017. The 125 STS deployed to the island following Hurricane Irma to clear the airstrip of debris, open the airport and manage all air traffic in the area in order to allow for military transports to deliver fuel, food and water to the region. The National Guard is the largest reserve force in the Department of Defense and provides the United States with the capacity and ability to partner with civil authorities in order to simultaneously mitigate disasters in our communities.
