“The reality of today is they’ve worked very hard to train up despite the pandemic,” said Maj. Gen. Francis Evon, Adjutant General and Commander of the Connecticut National Guard. In addition to meeting those challenges, they’ve been busy helping Connecticut with the pandemic, including helping to build up the hospital surge capacity early last year. Now these men and women are doing their federal mission, first heading to Texas and then overseas. “I’m very excited. It was hard to leave home today,” said Lt. Eleanor Baranofsky of the 1-102nd Infantry Regiment. Lt. Baranofsky’s husband and two pups, like hundreds of other families, will be at home waiting for these soldiers to return. And when the 1-102nd Infantry Regiment is half a world away, they say knowing the support their families receive from the military and the community means a lot.

They’ve been battling the pandemic in Connecticut and now they’re facing another challenge. “Just over a year ago, the same unit was helping with the hospital surge capacity building additional capacity at Central and at Southern,” said Major Gen. Francis Evon, Adjutant General and Commander. From one mission to the next, the National Guard soldiers with the 1-102nd Infantry have had a busy year battling COVID and their job isn’t done yet.
