A National Guard helicopter lands at Young Air Assault Strip on June 16, 2021, during operations for the Patriot ’21 exercise at Fort McCoy, Wis. Patriot ‘21 was a joint, interagency exercise sponsored by the National Guard Bureau (NGB). It took place at Volk Field, Wis., Combat Readiness Training Center and Fort McCoy from June 14-17. 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 National Guard’s abilities to support response operations based on simulated emergency scenarios, such as an earthquake creating a collapsed building, mass casualties, and the need for search and rescue along with evacuations of injured personnel.
