An Ohio National Guard unit that has been providing communications support to hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico arrived home the evening of Nov. 15, disembarking from a 121st Air Refueling Wing KC-135 Stratotanker at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus.
About 40 Soldiers from the 137th Signal Company, based in Newark, Ohio, had been deployed since Oct. 11. The unit provided mobile satellite, telephone, internet, video conferencing and information technology services for more than 50 missions conducted by deployed military assets in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
Since the first hurricane made landfall in August, more than 400 men and women of the Ohio National Guard have been engaged with rescue and relief efforts in Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
