🩺🧪Guardian Response 2026 🩺🧪

Our Soldiers have been hard at work! We are incredibly proud of the men and women from the 444th Ground Ambulance Company (338th Medical Brigade) and the 456th MCAS (804th Medical Brigade) for their outstanding performance at Guardian Response 2026!

Taking place at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, this intensive exercise is designed to push our medical and emergency response capabilities to the limit—and our teams rose to the occasion.

444th Ground Ambulance Company: They did an incredible job while attached to an Active Duty Field Hospital, ensuring seamless medical evacuation and patient care in a high-tempo environment. Their interoperability and dedication were on full display!

456th MCAS: A huge shoutout for their vital work attached to a CBRN unit. They successfully executed complex DECON (Decontamination) missions, proving they are ready to handle the toughest scenarios to keep our forces and citizens safe.

While these images look intense, please remember that Guardian Response is a training exercise. The "injuries" seen in these photos are the result of high-quality moulage (special effects makeup) used to create a realistic environment for our Soldiers. No real injuries occurred during this training.

Exercises like this ensure that when the call comes, we are ready to respond with precision, expertise, and heart.

What is Guardian Response? 🛡️

It’s where the U.S. Army Reserve and civilian agencies team up to master disaster response. From search and rescue to decontamination and medical recovery, it’s all about staying ready so we don't have to get ready.

Total synchronization. Total readiness.

💙💚 | Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month 💚💙

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month—a time to stand in solidarity with survivors, raise awareness, and commit to creating safer communities for everyone.

Today we wear TEAL, the color of sexual violence prevention. Teal was chosen because it represents healing, trust, and strength—qualities that honor survivors and reflect the hope for a future free from violence. It’s a color that symbolizes both support and resilience.

By participating in , we help spark conversations that matter. Awareness leads to understanding, and understanding leads to action.

Let’s continue to:
✔️ Support survivors with compassion and respect
✔️ Educate ourselves and others
✔️ Speak out against harmful behaviors
✔️ Promote a culture of consent and accountability

Together, we can make a difference. 💚
