LINCOLN — The Nebraska National Guard mission to help Florida after Hurricane Milton ended shortly after it started.

Gov. Jim Pillen announced Tuesday that the emergency response operation was canceled on Saturday after Florida officials assessed storm damage.

The 150 soldiers and airmen from units throughout the state, all volunteers, had been ordered to duty by Pillen last week and were to arrive in Florida by vehicles this past weekend. The mission was in response to an Emergency Management Assistance Compact request by the State of Florida for a Guard general service support company in anticipation of damage expected by Milton.

The Nebraska soldiers and airmen returned to Nebraska this weekend, according to a news release. They were processed and released on Monday.
