LEEDS, -- New York Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Nicodeme Esmel, a communications specialist, notes radio frequencies to help test newly-installed radio systems as New York State Naval Militia (NYSNM) members evaluate radio systems aboard the newly-upgraded NYSNM mobile command post at the New York Army National Guard armory here on March 10. Militia members, New York Guard members and New York Army National Guard communications experts also tested the command post's newly-installed radios and computerized automatic identification system here on March 10 and 16. The system displays real-time information on boat traffic in whatever New York state waterway the militia is operating in. The new features will improve the NYSNM's ability to communicate and coordinate with New York National Guard units. The NYSNM and the New York Guard are part of the New York State defense forces and can be mobilized for state-active duty, as was the case during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The NYSNM is the naval component of the New York State defense forces. Esmel belongs to Joint Force Headquarters and resides in Hoosick Falls, (photo courtesy of NYSNM/released)
