Michigan Army National Guard Sgt. Daniel Osgood, flight engineer with Detachment 1, Company B, 3-238th Aviation from Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Michigan watches from the bottom of the CH-47 Chinook to ensure that a team on the ground has properly connected a sling-load and that the team members have safely cleared the area around the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle before letting the pilot know it is safe to take-off and begin transporting the vehicle. The exercise took place during Northern Strike 16 at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center. Northern Strike 16 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting approximately 5,000 Army, Air Force, Marine, and Special Forces service members from 20 states and three coalition countries during the first three weeks of August 2016 at the Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, both located in northern Michigan. The exercise strives 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, and the synchronization of fires in a joint, multinational, decisive action environment.
