But, really, as terrible as that tragedy was, how many assets do you need to serve 1500 displaced people and clean up the wreckage from a town that small?
Not much but I was thinking more along the lines of medical equipment and combat engineer equipment.
An interesting side note Google Earth released a template yesterday with good resolution and you can see that the city has lot’s of volunteers in it right now. Also on Ft. Riley they have the very large equipment yards that hold trucks and trailers etc for the KsNG, most of the armored vehicles are gone but quite a few of the trucks are still there(as of mid 2006 google image), you can check this by going to Google Earth and going by the Ogden Gate you will see a large motor pool, the equipment furthest east inside that area is dedicated to the KSNG.
