Each year on the first weekend of November, adventurous bicyclists trek through a rugged and dangerous 30 mile course from Kalkaska to Traverse City during the “Iceman Cometh” (https://www.iceman.com) bicycle race.
Up hills, down into the forest, passing through the more remote and dangerous portions of that area, 5,000+ bicyclists seek to complete a race not meant for the faint of heart.

In order to maintain safety, security, and support services to the community, the Michigan Defense Force has been tasked for several years with providing trained soldiers to augment the local counties’ emergency management teams.

From basic first aid and emergency services to reliable communications technicians to ICS trained professionals, on Saturday, November 6, 2021, Michigan Defense Force troops performed their duties admirably in the remote corners of the northwestern Lower Peninsula.

To all of our troops that served their fellow Michiganders during the ICEMAN COMETH race, I salute you.

Thank you for your hard work.

26 APR 2021: Michigan Defense Force soldiers participated in OPERATION COVID HAMMER at a local drive thru clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
Approximately 250 doses were administered to the public; defense force troops provided traffic control in order to ensure safe and timely movements of vehicles entering and exiting the site.

Well done!
