    Spc. Ryan Christopher from D Company, 175th Infantry Regiment, Maryland National Guard, stands guard at a tactical control point as part of Vigilant Guard 18 on May 8, 2018 in Sykesville, Maryland. The defensive perimeter was designed to secure a hypothetically-downed cell tower, background.

    Vigilant Guard is an exercise that allows the Maryland Military Department, along with 42 federal, state, and local agencies a chance to collaborate and test interoperability as part of a national level exercise. The agencies are evaluated on preparing for and recovering from a catastrophic hurricane making landfall. Nearly 2,000 service members, from within the FEMA Region III area, are participating in the Vigilant Guard exercises in Maryland and Virginia. International partners are present observing the exercise to take home lessons learned. The national level exercise is sponsored by the United States Northern Command in conjunction with National Guard Bureau. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Sean Williams)
