Colombian Army engineers tour the South Carolina National Guard’s Joint Operations Center in West Columbia, during a Subject Matter Expert Exchange held Nov. 15-21, 2015. While in South Carolina, the five Colombian officers toured various sites and met with their National Guard counterparts seeing firsthand the areas affected by the floods, and how the Guard responded working alongside civilian first responders and state and local emergency management.
