[FortHoodPresscenter] Fort Hood received orders to deploy 100 tactical vehicles and personnel to support delivery of relief operations for Hurricane Harvey Aug. 29.

"Fort Hood stands ready to support state and federal agencies that are aiding our fellow citizens," said Maj. Gen. John Uberti, III Corps deputy commanding general. "This Total Army effort, which includes III Corps, has varying capability and capacity to assist in many areas. Our Soldiers, who volunteered to serve our nation, are willing and ready to assist as needed."

Houston is big city, urban. Something the New York search and rescue boys are most likely very much at home with.
