Army Reserve deploys for Puerto Rico quake recovery

“Yesterday, we conducted an initial assessment of the areas we could potentially serve. Today, we are loading all the equipment and getting ready to roll. This action will allow us to have a faster response, once we get the mission assignment.”-First Sergeant Walberto Torres, 12JAN2020

The 430th Quartermaster Company, U.S. Army Reserve Multifunctional Geographic Command for the Caribbean (newly created in 2018, apparently as a result of past hurricane response problems) are deploying for earthquake recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.

Don’t accuse President Trump of being slow with military help, Title 10 USC Section 12304a authorizes the Army Reserve to provide disaster assistance to a major natural disaster or emergency in the United States only at the request of the governor.  In other words the federal military can’t do anything to help if the governor doesn’t ask.  This also brings up a point that is confusing to many silly-villians; the Reserve forces are in the realm of the federal government, National Guard forces are official state government militias.

Potable hand washing stations, water used is not for consumption (non-potable, which means it cannot be used in a pot for cooking).

“If the local authorities need federal military assistance, there is no need to wait for resources to arrive from outside Puerto Rico. Our command is already here on the island, prepositioned and ready to assist immediately.”-Brigadier General Jeffrey W. Jurasek

AUSTRALIA:  If you look at my past Pacific Ring of Fire postings you’ll realize that the U.S. and Aussie militaries conduct disaster training operations through out the year.  The question I have is why does the deployment of the Aussie military, during these unprecedented fires, seem so ineffective?

Here’s an economic reality check to Australia’s disaster preparedness: 70-thousand Aussie firefighters are not paid, not even for food or fuel!!!

Apparently humans should be blamed for the unprecedented fires because they were operating under the same bogus ‘save the forest’ mentality as the U.S.; don’t touch anything and let everything grow unchecked (the natives in the U.S. didn’t do that, that’s why the landscape seemed so pristine to the invading Europeans): There’s only one way to make bushfires less powerful: take out the stuff that burns

U.S. taxpayers send Aussie Prime Minister a model boat!

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison is now the modern day ‘Nero that fiddled while Rome burned’, regarding his slow response to the unprecedented wildfires (even being on vacation!) during the Gregorian month of December, 2019.

Three months prior, in September 2019, the U.S. Secretary of Defense ordered the Office of the Curator of Ship Models at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division to build PM Morrison a model of the USS Canberra, as a gift!

Apparently the USS (United States Ship) Canberra-LCS-30 (not to be confused with USS Canberra-CA-70) is named after the HMAS (His/Her Majesty’s Australian Ship) Canberra, which was sunk by the Japanese during World War Two.

The Office of the Curator of Ship Models at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division was given short notice of the taxpayer funded build, only a few days, so they had to modify an existing model of the USS Independence-LCS-2.

Hope the Aussie PM is enjoying his U.S. taxpayer funded model boat.

Australia is part of the British empire, commonly known as The Commonwealth of Nations, or more simply The Commonwealth.  This includes many countries that have falsely been reported as ‘gaining independence’.  The current Queen of England is the boss.
