Master Sgt. Charlie Heit, a member of the 120th Fighter Wing of the Montana Air National Guard, videotapes the rubble pile which was used as a simulation of destroyed buildings during the Vigilant Guard 2009 exercise, held in Helena, Mont. on September 17. 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.
