A mobile command post from the 114th Fighter Wing of the South Dakota Air National Guard is shown at a training area on South Post as it was used in a scenario for the Patriot North 2018 exercise at Fort McCoy, Wis., on July 17, 2018. Patriot North is a joint agency civilian and military exercise, sponsored by the National Guard Bureau, that took place at Fort McCoy and Volk Field, Wis. It is a training exercise designed for civilian emergency management and responders to work with military entities in the same manner that they would during disasters. The exercise tests the Wisconsin Emergency Management and National Guard’s abilities to support response operations based on simulated emergency scenarios, such as an earthquake creating collapsed buildings, mass casualties, and the need for search and rescue along with evacuations of injured.
