A member of the National Guard digs a hole intended for a brace placement at the rubble pile, which simulated a collapsed building, during the Vigilant Guard 2009 exercise in Helena, Mont., Sept. 15. The exercise scenario involved the local community being struck by a violent 6.5 magnitude earthquake. The Vigilant Guard exercise is a Homeland Defense/Homeland Security FEMA Regional exercise hosted by the National Guard in conjunction with the State of Montana. The primary goal is to enhance mutual emergency coordination, response and recovery during the simulated natural disaster.
