National Guard Spearheads Oil Spill Cleanup
On April 20, 2010, an offshore drilling rig exploded, eventually releasing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Since then, the National Guard has been on-site, setting up shoreline protection systems, building sand barriers and dropping thousands of sandbags by helicopter to keep the oil out of fragile coastal wetlands and beaches.
As the oldest military component in the United States, the National Guard is always ready and always there to handle any threat against its homeland and environment.
