If you see our service members wearing colors this week, don’t worry - it’s not a new uniform standard. It’s awareness for Month of the Military Child, Child Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse, and other resilience initiatives. As we respond to the aftermath of Super Typhoon Sinlaku, it’s important we keep our family foundations strong. 💪

Underneath the large disaster response activities ramping up for are the small acts of kindness and inafa’maolek that mean just as much.

Shown here: a canned food drive for struggling Guardsmen, a delivery of supplies brought to Saipan by our ADVON team, and even a stranded visitor, CPT Pritchard from the 4th CST, volunteers to help a local church recover. Harvest Christian Academy.

Just a few examples, but a little goes a long way.

Answering the call at home: Guam National Guardsmen assist in post-Sinlaku recovery ❤️‍🩹

One capacity in which both Guam Army and Guam Air National Guardsmen are providing support is through the establishment and manning of traffic control points (TCPs).

Their responsibilities reach beyond giving “stop” and “go” signals and includes general driver and pedestrian safety.

“As a road guard, we aren’t just controlling the flow of traffic, we are also trained and able to respond to events that may be out of the ordinary,” said Staff Sgt. Edward Babauta, Army bandsman for the 721st Army Band.

“We are activated for the people of Guam,” said Babauta. “That’s what we are here for, to assist our community in any way necessary.
