Soldiers from Trenton’s 230th Engineer Battalion are supporting state, county, and local emergency responders as they assist Tennesseans and respond to flooding and damage caused by severe storms and tornadoes that recently tore through West and Middle Tennessee.
At the request of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, more than 40 Guardsmen have been in Paris, Trenton, and Union City this week supporting local communities. Equipped with Light Medium Tactical Vehicles, which have high ground clearance able to traverse flooded areas, and various equipment like bull dozers, bobcats, water buffalos, and dump trucks, they are helping those in need.
“We are always ready to support our state during an emergency,” said Major Christian Yoder, Executive Officer for the 230th Engineer Battalion. “We have an amazing team of combat engineers, as well as truck drivers, ready to assist.”
