Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations soldiers joined Special Forces soldiers at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, for a training event entitled Southern Strike 2024. The culminating event for the nearly month-long training operation was the defense and evacuation of an U.S. embassy. Extensive battlefield simulation effects such as pyrotechnics, smoke, simunitions and dozens of civilian role players enhanced the realism of the training. Southern Strike was hosted by the Mississippi National Guard. It was designed to improve combat readiness, build relationships, strengthen interoperability, and pursue greater global stability. This year, 2024, marks the 13th year the Mississippi National Guard has hosted Southern Strike.
