First US Army
|
Mission Statement:
Along with the training mission, First US Army had a military support to civil authorities mission for many years. This meant that First US Army planned for and provided personnel for Department of Defense support to domestic disasters ranging from hurricanes to floods to fires to terrorist attacks. In 2001, after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, First US Army defense coordinators, and their cells provided Department of Defense support during relief efforts. The years 2004 and 2005 marked not only the busiest training load for First Army, but also record hurricane seasons, culminating when Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coasts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
