Staff Sgt. Michelle Satterfield, first sergeant of the 401st Quartermaster
Detachment (left) explains to Fabio Munoz, maintenance supervisor of the
Long Beach Adult Learning Center in Long Beach, N.Y., the process that her
team will undergo in pumping out the water from his flooded areas. The 401st Quartermaster Detachment is one of three mobilizing tactical water
distribution units to aid with hurricane relief efforts by pumping water
from flooded areas that have impacted the local communities affected by
Hurricane Sandy. Before deploying into the affected areas, teams from the
401st, 410th and 431st Quartermaster Detachments mobilized to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., where they received special clothing and equipment courtesy of the 99th Regional Support Command. This will be the first time that U.S. Army Reserve soldiers have been activated for a domestic natural disaster under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which streamlined the process for Federal Reserve forces to mobilize in support of relief efforts within local communities.
