Soldiers of the Minnesota National Guard's 1st Battalion, 194th Armor Regiment, Task Force 1-194, fly on a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster aircraft August 17, 2021, responding to the Noncombatant Evacuation Operation announced by the Department of State, supported by the Department of Defense. Members of Task Force 1-194 flew to Hamid Karzai International Airport when called upon for rapid deployment in support of Operation Allies Refuge in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Approximately 1,100 Soldiers from Task Force 1-194 deployed to the Middle East in early 2021 for a nine-month mission in support of Operation Spartan Shield. While deployed, the Soldiers assumed responsibilities within the CENTCOM area of operations assuming the Operation Spartan Shield response force mission.
"This task force will bring together Soldiers from several units across the state," said Lt. Col. Jacob Helgestad, commander of Task Force 1-194. "Our Soldiers are well-trained and ready for this mission and I'm confident they will represent the State of Minnesota well."
