New York Air National Guard airmen, including over 40 from the 106th Rescue Wing, are currently activated by the state to take part in Joint Task Force Empire Shield. Joint Task Force Empire Shield’s primary goal is to detect, deter and prevent potential terrorist operations in the New York City Metropolitan Area. Security operations are implemented daily through pre-planned programs using a random and strategic methodology. Joint Task Force Empire Shield is designed to respond to a wide range of incidents. By developing a highly trained force in incident response and command, the Task Force prepares for domestic emergencies caused by humans or natural phenomena using lessons learned and best practices. Airmen, working alongside Army National Guard soldiers, patrol areas around New York City, including JFK Airport, Penn Station and the World Trade Center.
