Service members from the 24th Civil Support Team and the U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Strike Team conducts a 360-degree perimeter patrol to check the radiation levels of a simulated collapsed building at the Urban Search and Rescue Yard in Baltimore, during Vigilant Guard 18 on May 9, 2018. The team, in level C hazmat suits, uses their equipment to determine if there was a potential source of contamination that would make it unsafe for first responders to rescue the simulated injured from the rubble and assess the structural damage.
Vigilant Guard is an exercise that allows the Maryland Military Department, along with 42 federal, state, and local agencies a chance to collaborate and test interoperability as part of a national level exercise. The agencies are evaluated on preparing for and recovering from a catastrophic hurricane making landfall. Nearly 2,000 service members are participating in the Vigilant Guard exercises in Maryland and Virginia. International partners are present observing the exercise to take home lessons learned. The national level exercise is sponsored by United States Northern Command in conjunction with National Guard Bureau. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Cpl. Elizabeth Scott)
