Sgt. Art Rehkopf uses his hands to mold five pounds of ground beef into a meatloaf. Rehkopf a culinary non-commissioned officer with the Joint Forces Headquarters based in Lansing, Michigan, is summiting his loaf in the competition he and several Army cooks were having during Annual Training. Rehkopf a Grand Rapids, Michigan, native was taking part in Northern Strike 17 this year. 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.
