    U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Tanya S. McGonegal, commander, Joint Task Force Civil Support, discusses wildfire hazardous waste cleanup operations with Eric Nuchims, battery tech specialist, Environmental Protection Agency, at a staging area in Altadena, California, Feb. 19, 2025.

    At the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Northern Command deployed approximately 170 active-duty personnel to assist EPA-led teams with cleanup of wildfire hazardous waste from the Eaton and Palisades fires in California. U.S. Army North, NORTHCOM’s Joint Force Land Component Command, is overseeing the military’s support to federal and state efforts, while JTF-CS is providing on-the-ground command and control of active-duty personnel. Work to remove the hazardous materials is phase 1 of the federal cleanup response to ensure the safety of the residents by preventing these materials from being released into the environment.
