U.S. Air Force security forces members and others participate in a training scenario at a training area June 16, 2021, during the National Guard Patriot '21 exercise at Fort McCoy, Wis. Multiple Air Force SF and civilian law-enforcement agencies participated in the exercise to help build real-world medical response and peacekeeping skills in the event of a natural disaster. 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.
