Master Gunnery Sgt. Mike Brown, a Washington native, observes Staff Sgt. Aaron Ramsey about to hook up his static line to his anchor cable. Brown is the battalion operation chief for the Forth Reconnaissance battalion, and Ramsey is a Reconnaissance-man from Echo Company. Ramsey, a Springfield, MO native; is about to jump off a Chinook CH-47 and into Lake Margrethe, Michigan, as part of his annual training in Northern Strike 17. Northern Strike 17 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting approximately 5,000 service members from 13 states and five coalition countries during the first two weeks of August 2017 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 newly accredited NS17 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.
