This graphic illustration, created March 20, 2026, for the California Air National Guard’s 2026 Combat Readiness Inspection, highlights the 163d Attack Wing’s preparation for evaluation of its ability to generate, employ and sustain forces in support of state and federal missions. The illustration is based on a photograph taken by Senior Master Sgt. Julianne Sitterding showing U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Fernanda Ramirez, 163d Security Forces Squadron, providing security at an entry control point during exercise Grizzly Talon at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., March 18, 2026, where defenders were tested on random anti-terrorism measures as part of a joint layered defense scenario. The graphic uses a black-and-white treatment, bold typography and a minimal layout to emphasize discipline, readiness and military professionalism.
