Brig. Gen. Patrick Hamilton, dual status commander of recovery operations for Hurricane Harvey, meets with the joint staff at Ford Park Arena in Beaumont, Texas, Sept. 8, 2017. The command staff of Task Force 56 oversees rescue and clean-up operations in southeastern Texas. “This was textbook military support of civil authorities,” said Hamilton of the recovery operations. “I’m very proud to report, we have not denied a request for support on the ground or a single request for support from the air.” (US Army National Guard photo by Spc.
