Smith Commander New York Naval Militia To All Members of the New York Naval Militia: All of us understand by now that we are in the midst of a state, national, and global emergency the scale of which we have never experienced before. While comparisons to World War II and the Spanish flu pandemic following WWI give some historical context, the unprecedented nature of virus transmission facilitated by international air travel and global commerce as well as the rapid dissemination of information – some accurate, some speculation, and some nonsense – means that we are in uncharted waters. No one is or will remain immune from the effects, whether physical, psychological or economic, which will be long lasting. The health care system of no city or country is adequately prepared to administer to the numbers of people who require care. The good news is that our Naval Militia members have responded. The number of Militia men and women on active duty has grown to 81 as of this writing, some working at Latham, others with the various Joint Task Forces deployed around the state. While the primary demand has been for medical and logistics specialties, some general purpose Militia members have been working side by side with the NY State Guard and National Guard helping with the transport of test samples from collection sites to labs, the cleaning of public facilities, and the distribution of food to communities in need.

Smith Commander New York Naval Militia During the course of the last few extraordinary months, I have had the opportunity to meet with many of our Naval Militia members who have responded to the call to State Active Duty for the COVID-19 pandemic. In every instance, I have been impressed and proud of the outstanding job our Naval Militia has been doing. From the personnel staffing the testing sites in Albany, the Bronx and on Long Island to the pop-up hospital and warehouse activities at the Javits Center, and from our JRSOI and medical teams at Camp Smith to those auditing and processing payments at Latham, every Militia member has been professional and enthusiastic about their role in facing down this challenge. At the same time, our MEBS crew members have carried on with their daily missions maintaining our NYNM fleet of boats at Leeds, patrolling the Hudson at Verplanck, and working with the Coast Guard in and around New York harbor. While the number of Army and Air National Guard members on duty has waxed and waned, the Naval Militia and New York Guard have been a fairly steady presence – one that is frequently noted and greatly appreciated by the Adjutant General’s office. Operation Lake Ontario never fully materialized before it was called off, but we recognize that hurricane season is underway, and the need to bring more of our Militia members on duty on short notice remains a real possibility.

The things we have done this year, in many cases, are things we have never done before, such as standing up a fully functioning galley in 48 hours. What we, together, have shown is what we as Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, in our Federal roles, already knew; when we go to sea, the most important skill we bring is resourcefulness.
