Joint Terminal Attack Controllers from Poland work with counterparts from the 227 Air Support Operations Squadron, Atlantic City, New Jersey, at the Carmeuse Calcite Quarry, Rogers City, Mich., Aug. 13, 2018. They were augmented by an infantry ground force of soldiers from the 126th Infantry, Grand Rapids, Mich. This training gives JTACs the opportunity to work with coalition forces and helps with creating cohesion among different branches and countries. Northern Strike 18 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting service members from many states, multiple service branches and a number of coalition countries during the first three weeks of August 2018 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 Capabilities 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.
