U.S. Army Capt. Taurus Gardin, 741st Quartermaster Company commander, South Carolina Army National Guard, speaks about the unit's mission to supply clean water to Palmetto Health Baptist Hospital in Columbia, S.C., Oct. 10, 2015, using reverse osmosis water purification units. Soldiers trained as water purification specialists pumped up to 15,000 gallons of potable water per hour into the hospital from a city fire hydrant, enabling the hospital to remain operational after flood waters compromised the city’s water supply. The South Carolina National Guard has been activated to support state and county emergency management agencies and local first responders as historic flooding impacts counties statewide. Currently, more than 3,000 South Carolina National Guard members have been activated in response to the floods. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Tech. Sgt. Caycee Watson/RELEASED)
