Our speaker will be Lieutenant Colonel Harold Bailey of the Maryland Defense Force. LTC Bailey will present an overview of the Maryland Defense Force and the 10th Medical Regiment. The Maryland Defense Force (MDDF) is a voluntary uniformed military organization that is one of the pillars of the Maryland Military Department. The MDDF provides professional, technical, emergency management, and military support to the State of Maryland for disasters and planned events. The presentation will address the capabilities of MDDF units, and their relationships with community partners, disaster response organizations, and emergency operations centers. The MDDF’s 10th Medical Regiment, unique among State Defense Forces, in that it maintains the only Medical Reserve Corps in the nation with both uniformed and civilian personnel, will be highlighted.
