More than 80 New Jersey Army and Air Guard members received the Humanitarian Service Medal on May 3, 2016 for their assistance in the Superstorm Sandy rescue, recovery, and rebuilding efforts in 2012. More than 2,200 Soldiers and Airmen who took part in the largest domestic mobilization in the New Jersey National Guard’s history will receive the medal in the coming weeks. New Jersey National Guard troops rescued more than 7,000 residents and their pets in the days after the storm made landfall. The troops remained on duty following the storm, assisting civil authorities with security, transportation, logistics, and reconstructing efforts, delivering more than 10,000 meals and hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel. The federal military award is normally reserved for personnel who are serving on federal active duty when mobilized for a humanitarian relief operation.
