Team Rubicon is a civilian volunteer organization made up military veterans and first responders, created to rapidly deploy emergency response teams to various types of disasters at the request of federal, state and county agencies. PATRIOT is an annual exercise held at Volk Field to test the National Guard’s capabilities and develop working relationships with first responders and government agencies.
