SCANG COVID-19 response

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jennifer Wagner, second from left, poses with her co-workers at the Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Morehead City, North Carolina, in October 2019 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since March, the South Carolina National Guard has mobilized nearly 500 Soldiers and Airmen to augment local authorities’ medical response to COVID-19. These service members have temporarily left their civilian jobs and Families while performing their military duty. The support they receive from their civilian employers is crucial to being able to perform vital missions across the state. One such employer, the Veterans Affairs Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) in Morehead City, North Carolina, employs U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jennifer Wagner. Wagner is a U.S. Air National Guard Airman with the South Carolina Air National Guard (SCANG) and has been on active duty orders since early May.
