In Montana, the Air Force Global Strike Command responds to a simulated nuclear weapons incident near Malmstrom Air Force Base. In Florida, the Florida National Guard works with state and local officials to respond to simulated major hurricanes and hazardous material events. USNORTHCOM’s Joint Task Force – Civil Support deploys to Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia during the exercise. In South Carolina, the National Guard conducts field training events at multiple locations in response to a simulated hurricane and hazardous material events.
