They\u2019ve deployed soldiers on missions from California to Michigan and areas in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The task force is in charge of command and control, supporting military medical personnel who themselves are supporting often overwhelmed frontline civilian health care workers at local hospitals swamped with COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their current pandemic response mission includes an area of 15 states, from the Great Lakes region to the U.S. Southwest, and is expected to last until at least late March. The area spans three of the 10 FEMA regions, with the largest geographic distribution of any of the regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWisconsin, we stand with you in solidarity as part of the whole-of-America response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in support of FEMA,\u201d said Lt. Gen. Laura J. Richardson, commander for both U.S. Army North and Joint Force Land Component Command of U.S Northern Command. \u201cWorking together, alongside our local, state and federal partners, we are committed to caring for Wisconsinites in need and to mitigating this virus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Times has tracked training and exercises of the task force in recent years, which is drawn mainly from the Michigan Army National Guard\u2019s 46th Military Police Command. They\u2019ve spent the past seven years running various exercises to respond to potential multistate disasters such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear accidents or attacks inside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the pandemic, they are typically dispatched for initial 30-day relief missions, working alongside local hospital workers, caring primarily for COVID-19 patients. The El Paso mission began in early November and was extended to Dec. 16. The North Dakota mission is scheduled to end by Dec. 23. Either can be extended again, based on need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers and other services\u2019 medical personnel arrived in El Paso at a time when there were an estimated 10,000 active coronavirus cases in a county with a population of fewer than 840,000 people. By late November that had doubled to more than 20,000 active cases, according to Centers for Disease Control data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of this week, the number has declined to less than 15,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Dakota saw a spike of more than 2,000 new cases in mid-November. That dropped to just a few hundred, then climbed to more than 2,200 in the past week, according to CDC data. The total state population is estimated at about 800,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wisconsin saw a daily new case high of nearly 8,500 in mid-November. That has fallen and spiked and fallen again in recent weeks to an estimated 4,100 new daily cases this past week in a state of fewer than 6 million people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soldiers with Task Force 46 and associated medical personnel from the Army\u2019s Medical Command at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam
