Retired Major General Michael A. Stone has returned to the Southfield-based law firm Warner Norcross and Judd LLP after an active-duty deployment of nearly a year commanding Task Force 46 in its fight against COVID-19.
Stone announced his retirement from the Michigan Army National Guard after a 33-year career culminating with his position as the Commanding General of the 46th Military Police Command. Stone was deployed on three occasions, including combat tours in the Persian Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Stone led the force that was originally created to handle catastrophic chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents in the United States. The 46th, comprised primarily of soldiers from Michigan, quickly mobilized to provide support for U.S. Army North and the Department of Defense in the federal COVID-19 response.
