    Commander of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, Brig. Gen. James LeFavor, walked the route of the Boston Marathon in Brookline, Mass., to visit with Airmen and Soldiers who are providing security support for the event. Joining him was Col. Arthur Wunder, Chief of Staff for the Mass. ANG, and Chief Master Sgt. Michelle O’Keefe from Joint Force Headquarters.

    More than 500 members of the Massachusetts National Guard are providing support along the route of the 123rd Boston Marathon. Guard soldiers and airmen continue to work alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement and public safety partners to help maintain order, public safety, and are prepared to respond to any hazardous incidents as required.

    The soldiers and airmen are positioned along the 26.2 miles of the Boston Marathon, interspersed with their civilian counterparts.

    The Massachusetts National Guard provides security and medical personnel and specialized chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN), and improvised explosive detection teams to assist local communities along the route in ensuring safety during race-day festivities.

    The soldiers and airmen of the Massachusetts National Guard are prepared to meet and support National Security directives and to provide domestic response capabilities, wherever and whenever needed to defend the nation, protect life and property, and preserve peace, order and public safety.
