VDF keeps traffic moving at Apple Blossom Festival
Members of the Virginia Defense Force operate traffic control points and provide mission command support May 1, 2015, at the 88th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Va. Nearly 90 members of the all-volunteer VDF from units across the state augmented local law enforcement to help ensure traffic flow for the one mile kids race and Firefighters’ Parade, and they will operate TCPs on May 2 as well. The VDF also took advantage of the mission to train on multiple communication systems and rehearse procedures they would use if they were called to state active duty to augment the Virginia National Guard.
