    Col. Armands Saltups, Air Force commander, Latvian National Armed Forces, Col. John Miner, commander, Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Mich., and Maj. Kaspars Skudrovs, airfield manager, Lielvarde Air Base, Latvia, visited Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, Mich., Aug. 14, 2018. Saltups toured base facilities and discussed new areas of collaboration between the Michigan Air National Guard and the Latvian Air Force. Latvia and Michigan are partners under the National Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program (SPP).

    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.
