Lt. Col. Scott Chalmers once deployed to Afghanistan to communicate with locals there for the U.S. Army. Now he’s overseeing soldiers trying to tell Utahns about the coronavirus.
“Our job is to help the community wherever we’re at,” said Chalmers, the administrative officer for the Utah National Guard’s 300th Military Intelligence Brigade.
Twenty soldiers from the brigade are among the battalion of state employees who have volunteered to do what’s called contact tracing. That’s when phone calls or other communications are made to people who might have been infected by a COVID-19 patient.
