The 146th Airlift Wing, the California Air National Guard C-130J Super Hercules unit at Channel Islands ANGB, hosted filming of a public service TV commercial for the National Guard Bureau on 2 November 2011. The commercial is a recruitment ad for Homeland Response Force, or HRF, teams that respond quickly to large natural disasters. The US Department of Defense plans to establish ten National Guard-sourced HRFs that will be comprised of National Guard Soldiers and Airmen. Regionally oriented, each of the 10 HRFs will be hosted by one state in each of the Federal Emergency Management Agency regions.
