USAR personnel were all over Ground Zero, some in their civilian employment (FDNY / NYPD / any other combination of initials), others as just straight up volunteers or heavy equipment operators...

USAR units made recon down and liaison with those NYARNG units on site, in preparation for the anticipated Federalization of the scene (which never happened, for NY internal political reasons).

NYARNG greeted us with open arms, wanting to know when we would get clear of the posse comitatus hurdle and come down to their relief.  i had to tell them that about 25% of my strength was already on-site, just not wearing this particular uniform.
