State of the Guard presented by the Joint Military Affairs Committee

Description

Due to the need for advanced background checks, you must sign up by the 02/14/24 deadline to enter the facility.
 
Join us and the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce for the 2024 State of the Guard briefing to our community, hosted by Major General Michael R. Berry, The Adjutant General, Delaware. This year’s stage is the hangar of the 166th Airlift Wing, located at the New Castle airport, New Castle, Del. 
 
With more than 1,000 men and women of the 166th Airlift Wing, our Guard Airmen support, maintain, and fly the C-130H3 model Hercules transport, which the Delaware National Guard received in 2023. This venerable aircraft is used in a variety of roles including airlift and airdrop of people, equipment, and supplies, as well as aeromedical evacuation of people. You will hear the missions where our particular aircraft have seen duty in a host of other countries around the world, as well as in several U.S. states performing humanitarian relief and natural disaster response missions. It is a great aircraft with a great mission. The Delaware Air National Guard is much more than just its aircraft. It is people performing every vital role that the Air Force, the nation, and our First State may need during a time of crisis.
 
Following the program, attendees may tour the C-130H3 aircraft, and displays by 166th Security Forces, EOD, and Fire Station 33.
 
The deadline to register for this event is Wednesday, February 14.

The event is no cost to attend, but for security reasons you must pre-register by the deadline.
 
Breakfast is provided and sponsored by Jamestown Catering.
