Spicing things up during a meatloaf competition at Annual Training, Northern Strike 17, Spc. Rachel Garms, a culinary specialist hands Sgt. Rachel Van Dyke a senior culinary non-commissioned officer the oregano. Garms a Petoskey, Michigan, resident is from the 46th Military Police Company based out of Corunna, Michigan; while Van Dyke is from Middleville, Michigan, and is part of the Joint Forces Headquarters based in Lansing, Michigan. Both are cooks with different units but Northern Strike 17 brought them together to cook. 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.
