Multiple Pennsylvania Air National Guardsmen from across Pennsylvania have deployed for training to provide medical and veterinary support to several remote villages on the island of Kodiak Alaska.
For Kodiak Arctic Care 24, personnel from across the U.S. Uniformed Services, under the Innovative Readiness Training program, partnered with the Kodiak Area Native Association to deliver no-c.ost medical, dental, optometry, and veterinary services to residents across geographically dispersed care sites in Alaska’s remote Kodiak Island borough. IRT is exclusive to the United States and its territories and delivers joint training opportunities to increase deployment readiness. Simultaneously, IRT provides key services, such as health care, construction, transportation, and cybersecurity, to U.S. communities.
Without this support the local population would face the challenges of living remotely while trying to get medical attention for themselves, their loved ones or also their closest companions.
