The committee was headed by an all star panel, The Director of Joint Staff of The New York State Military Forces, Two State Defense Force Commanding Generals and The Chief of Staff of The New York Guard (State Defense Force). Here are the individuals who participated:

This incredibly informative panel discussed how their State Defense Forces responded to the Covid-19 Pandemic as well as other recent missions such as Asylum Relief Support. The Panel dove into the capabilities their State Defense Forces provides to their National Guard and State, as well as how they manage deployment, logistics and activation during Statewide Emergencies.
