    Members of U.S. Army North Defense Coordinating Element Region 9, Joint Task Force Civil Support and the 172nd Chemical Company, 2nd Chemical Battalion, 48th Chemical Brigade, 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives Command, discuss wildfire hazardous waste cleanup operations in a neighborhood in Pacific Palisades, California Feb. 12, 2025.

    At the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Northern Command deployed approximately 170 active-duty personnel to assist Environmental Protection Agency-led teams with cleanup of wildfire hazardous waste from the Eaton and Palisades fires in California. ARNORTH, U.S. Northern Command’s Joint Force Land Component Command, is overseeing the military’s support to federal and state efforts, while JTF-CS is providing on-the-ground command and control of active-duty personnel. Work to remove the hazardous materials is phase 1 of the federal cleanup response to ensure the safety of the residents by preventing these materials from being released into the environment.
