However, Googling reveals that Jones was also in charge of Task Force Pelican, commanding National Guard operations in Louisiana for the first month following Hurricane Katrina, including the evacuation of the Superdome and the Morial Convention Center.  Jones appears throughout James A. Wombwell's http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/wombwell.pdf "Army Support During the Hurricane Katrina Disaster", published by the US Army's Combat Studies Institute Press.
