National Guard Armories are classically under-funded and thus ill-prepared for emergency situations. The status of these armories is exemplified in the
Annapolis National Guard Armory, and under the guide of the Maryland Defense Force, my team explored the Annapolis National Guard Armory and
assessed the condition of the infrastructure.
Activities:
I assessed the status of infrastructure in the
armory and assigned it a rating of green,
yellow, or red. I then made recommendations
for allocation of funds to fix these issues.
Acknowledgments:
I would like to thank Dr. Tomblin, the instructor of this course, for sharing his
knowledge of various infrastructure issues, as well Lt. Col. Hubner, Mj. Beattie,
