Staff Sgt. Katelynn Ledwell a wheeled vehicle mechanic with the 152nd Support Maintenance Company, Maine Army National Guard, conducts preventative maintenance and service checks on a 20-ton dump truck in the early morning hours on Feb. 28, 2026. She, along with 26 other Maine National Guard Soldiers, were deployed on state active-duty orders to Rhode Island in support snow removal relief efforts after winter storm Hernando dropped record-breaking snowfall across the state. Before heading out to clear snow, the vehicles must be checked over thoroughly to ensure nothing prevents them from being mission capable. The support for this mission came at the request of Rhode Island through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, a mutual aid agreement that enables states to support one another during emergencies and natural disasters.
