			Deploying in two waves, the Airmen and their equipment were picked up by a C-130 Hercules from the 136th Airlift Wing out of Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Carswell Field, Texas, and deployed to the same location to wait for further instruction.<br />
<br />
"What we're doing today is responding to an assistance agreement that we have with our brothers and sisters in Texas to bring aide to those in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana in response to Hurricane Harvey," said Col. Devin R. Wooden, 137 SOW commander. "We will be there as long as they need us."<br />
<br />
The first unit, composed of 11 Airmen from the 137th Special Operations Medical Group, will offer their expertise and portable medical equipment to help evacuate patients from affected medical care facilities.<br />
<br />
"The Medical Group has been requested by Texas Emergency Management to assist with hospital and nursing home patient evacuation from the Houston area," said Col. Keith Reed, 137 SOMDG commander. "Our En Route Patient Staging System (ERPSS) includes equipment and medical personnel specially trained to stage and prepare patients for military air transport to facilities outside the affected area. We will partner with Texas Air National Guard medical personnel and work until this particular need is met." </p>
