U.S. Army Reserve Sgt. Eric Elder, a power distribution specialist with Delta Company, 249th Engineer Battalion, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers out of Cranston, Rhode Island, secures a downed power line caused by Hurricane Maria to help restore power in the Rio Grande, Puerto Rico area October 25, 2017. The Army Reserve is part of the synchronized Federal emergency response system for immediate assistance. Providing timely and appropriate response to an incident remains one of the Army's key operational concepts. The Army Reserve's enabling capabilities remain a key component of this system by maintaining a variety of readily available capabilities including aviation, civil affairs, engineering, medical, supply and logistics that can be committed to Defense Support of Civil Authorities missions. These capabilities help the Army and Army Reserve's community-based force save lives, prevent human suffering and extensive property damage when domestic disasters threaten the homeland. America's Army Reserve is the most capable, combat-ready, and lethal Federal Reserve force in the history of the Nation. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Sgt. Andrew Valles)
