Soldiers with Joint Task Force Empire Shield work with members of the FDNY EMT during a major blizzard Jan. 26, 2015. The storm, believed to be one of the most powerful in recent history, managed to shut down all NYC airports, subways and other forms of public transit. The soldiers were on hand to provide support to first responders in case of a major emergency. (New York Air National Guard/Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Muncy/Released)
