MARSHALL, Ark. – Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders activated 140 Arkansas National Guardsmen to state active duty to staff 28 winter weather response teams assisting Arkansas State Police in transporting stranded motorists to safe areas until road conditions improve.

Teams from the Marshall Armory patrolled the stretch from Marshall to Bellefonte, primarily aiming to assist motorists affected by the winter storm on U.S. Highway 65.

The 87th Troop Command Soldiers provided support to Arkansas State Police, Troop I in Harrison.

The team consists of five Guardsmen, two Humvees, and communications equipment. Teams are permitted to recover first responder emergency vehicles to a safe area, if possible. However, they are not authorized to recover privately owned vehicles.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
