Tens of thousands more Guard troops participated in overseas operations, wildfire response, pandemic response and other state missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops from the Minnesota National Guard\u2019s 1st Battalion, 194th Armor Regiment, also played a pivotal role in securing the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the chaotic evacuation there in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it looks like the Guard will stay busy into 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Dec. 13, 2021, approximately 28,690 Guard troops are deployed overseas, and an additional 16,650 are activated for domestic missions, said NGB spokesperson Wayne Hall. The latter count does not include the thousands of Guard troops currently activated under state authority or troops at the southern border on Title 10 orders, Hall added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Joe Biden extended the Title 32 authorization allowing Guard troops to continue on pandemic response with funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/11\/09\/memorandum-for-the-secretary-of-homeland-security-and-the-administrator-of-the-federal-emergency-management-agency-on-maximizing-assistance-to-respond-to-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\">at least April 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guard troops will also remain stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border throughout 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to 3,000 will be there through at least Sept. 31 as part of a Pentagon-directed mission to support Customs and Border Protection, and thousands more are currently activated under state authority in Texas for \u201cOperation Lone Star.\u201d It\u2019s not clear exactly how many Texas troops are activated, nor how long their mission will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also appears that the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season, a primary source of state missions, will have an above average amount of storms, <a href=\"https:\/\/tropical.colostate.edu\/Forecast\/2021-12.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">according to researchers<\/a> from Colorado State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senior Army leaders have also said that the end of the war in Afghanistan won\u2019t slow down the pace of overseas deployments. National Guard troops remained deployed to the Middle East, Africa and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next year will probably be a busy year for the Guard \u2014 but will
