    Staff Sgt. Galen Amick, a reconnaissance-man and a San Luis Obispo, California native, is securing his static line to the anchor cable before he and the other Marines in his platoon jump off a Chinook CH-47 and into Lake Margrethe, Michigan. The Forth Reconnaissance Battalion, based out of Joliet, Illinois, is taking part in rare Wet Jump training during exercise Northern Strike17. 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.
