A combat controller with the 125th Special Tactics Squadron of the Oregon Air National Guard at Portland coordinates with a pair of C-130 Hercules aircraft prior to a Container Delivery System airdrop for the Patriot North 2018 exercise July 17, 2018, at Badger Drop Zone at Fort McCoy, Wis. Patriot North is a joint agency civilian and military exercise, sponsored by the National Guard Bureau (NGB), taking place at Fort McCoy and Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center, Wis. It is a training exercise designed for civilian emergency management and responders to work with military entities in the same manner that they would during disasters. The exercise tests the Wisconsin Emergency Management and National Guard’s abilities to support response operations based on simulated emergency scenarios, such as an earthquake creating collapsed buildings, mass casualties, and the need for search and rescue along with evacuations of injured.
