    Four military personnel are engaged in a briefing or discussion inside what appears to be a command or operations center. Two individuals wear US Air Force Airman Battle Uniforms (ABU) in tiger-stripe pattern, while two others wear a digital camouflage pattern consistent with Latvian National Armed Forces uniforms. The setting suggests an official military visit or liaison meeting at a US Air Force installation.

    Col. Armands Saltups, Air Force commander, Latvian National Armed Forces, and Col. John Miner, commander, Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Mich. visited Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, Mich., Aug. 14, 2018.

    Northern Strike 18 is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored exercise uniting service members from many states, multiple service branches and a number of coalition countries during the first three weeks of August 2018 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 accredited Joint National Training Capabilities exercise 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 (Air National Guard photo by 1st Lt.
