More resources from New York State are assisting with recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene. On Thursday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the New York Army National Guard has deployed 20 engineer soldiers from units that specialize in road construction and repair to South Carolina. Additionally, 17 pieces of heavy equipment, including dump trucks, back hoes, front end loaders and cranes, accompanied the soldiers, who are assigned to the 2024 Engineer Battalion and are based in Horseheads and Camp Smith Training Sites near Peekskill. The soldiers will report into the South Carolina Army National Guard’s Readiness Center in Greenville, South Carolina.
