Summary
Army Col. Kimberlee Aiello, 44th Medical Brigade, commander, gives elbow bumps after members of the 44th Medical Brigade receive their award certificate at the Javits Center in New York City, before their departure, May 22, 2020. As the requirements for COVID-19 pandemic lifesaving and life sustaining response decreases in New York, the Department of Defense will transition its tasks of life saving and sustaining, and the reduction of immediate threats to public health, to FEMA and other federal, state, and local agencies as they continue to conduct recovery and mitigation. U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible Department of Defense support to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the whole-of-nation COVID-19 response.
