National Guard civil support team members outfit themselves in protective suits prior to entering a simulated meth lab during a PATRIOT North 18 exercise scenario on July 18. National Guard troops partnered with civilian emergency management and first responders to prepare for natural disasters in the annual exercise at Fort McCoy, Wisc., July 17 - 19, 2018. Soldiers and Airmen and emergency management agencies from more than 20 states honed their response skills in simulated emergency scenarios that mimic the way they would work together in actual emergencies.
