Army Maj. Joseph Genin, Task Force operations officer, briefs Battalion
Commander Lt. Col. Jacob Helgestad, company commanders, and task force staff on current operations at Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 21,
2021. With its strategic assignment at Camp Buehring, Task Force 1-194 was positioned to respond to the Noncombatant Evacuation Operation announced by the Department of State and supported by the Department of Defense.
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."
