“Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by Hurricane Irma,” said Col. Craig J. Alia, 101st CAB commander, in a Sept. 11 press release.

“We are leaning forward now, proactively positioning our personnel and equipment to help the American people if called forward to support,” he said. “Should local officials and emergency services need additional assets, we will be staged and prepared to go at a moment’s notice.” – Tennessean
