A Utah National Guard AH-64 Apache Helicopter takes off from Grayling Army Airfield Aug. 8, 2017. The Apache is used in Close Air Support (CAS), and scouting roles. The Apache is equipped with a 30mm Chain Gun, Hellfire Anti-tank missiles and a variety of other weapons. The Apaches are being utilized in Northern Strike 17, showcasing their ability to work with a multitude of units including Soldiers and Marines alike. Northern Strike 17 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting approximately 5,000 service members from 13 states and five coalition countries during the first two weeks of August 2017 at the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, both located in northern Michigan and operated by the Michigan National Guard. The newly accredited Northern Strike demonstrates the Michigan National Guard’s ability to provide accessible, readiness-building opportunities for military units from all service branches to achieve and sustain proficiency in conducting mission command, air, sea and ground maneuver integration, together with synchronization of fires in a joint, multinational, decisive action environment.
