The California State Guard is standing-up two volunteer units exclusively tasked with responding to natural disasters and civil unrest, following the busiest year for state service members since the Korean War.
A 200-member contingent called Team Shield will train and muster as a security force at Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos. During wildfires and civil unrest they could be deployed throughout the state to assist police agencies with traffic control and manning checkpoints.
By June, another 150 volunteers with Team Blaze will make up a firefighting task force that trains alongside Cal Fire to staff hand crews. These firefighting ranks are slated to grow to 300 by next year.

Observant Orange County residents might notice a few additions to our county lately: street art focusing on hope at more than 10 places, including The Great Park, three vaccine super sites, John Wayne Airport, and other iconic locations. More than 70 artists, including at least 50 students from the Orange County School of Arts, were commissioned to put forth their ideas about resilience and optimism for the community. The project, “Hope Lives in O.C.,” is a partnership between City of Hope Orange County, the Orange County Health Care Agency, and other businesses and groups.
