Latvian Air Force firefighters watch a U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler, a variant of the F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the Electronic Attack Squadron 136 (VAQ-136), taxi during Northern Strike 19 at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center in Alpena, Mich., July 22, 2019. Northern Strike 19 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting service members from more than 20 states, multiple service branches and numerous coalition countries during the last two weeks of July 2019 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 accredited Joint National Training Capability exercise 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 the synchronization of fires in a joint, multinational, decisive action environment.
