    Members of the 13th Civil Support Team, Rhode Island National Guard, conduct the initial entry brief prior to dispatching the survey team into the simulated incident site at the Port of Seward Drydocks in Seward, Alaska, May 18, in support of Exercise ORCA 21. ORCA is a chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear threats response exercise designed for participants to provide support in the aftermath of hazardous materials incidents. ORCA tests interoperability between agencies, increases opportunities for working relationships, and practices requests for assistance methods. Approximately 250 National Guardsmen from CST units in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Idaho, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin are in Alaska to participate in Exercise ORCA 2021. Numerous support units and civilian agencies participated in the exercise as well. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Dana Rosso)

    A military CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter in olive drab livery is hovering at low altitude over a grassy field. The setting appears to be a small Alaskan community, identifiable by snow-capped mountains, evergreen trees, and sparse infrastructure in the background. The helicopter appears to be either landing or taking off during daylight hours under clear skies.
    Military personnel are conducting helicopter operations with a CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter in a mountainous, forested area. Soldiers in full combat gear are approaching and exiting the aircraft on a grassy landing zone. The setting appears to be Alaska based on the snow-capped mountains and coniferous forest backdrop.
    A military CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter is captured in low-altitude flight, appearing to be taking off or hovering near a forested mountain area. The helicopter's rear ramp is open and debris is visibly being blown around by rotor wash. Snow-capped mountains and dense evergreen trees form the backdrop, suggesting an Alaskan or similar northern mountainous environment.
    A military training exercise is taking place in an outdoor setting with snow-capped mountains in the background. One personnel is wearing a silver/reflective HAZMAT or chemical protective suit with orange trim, interacting with a U.S. Army soldier in standard camouflage uniform. Multiple other military personnel are visible in the background near tan military tents.
    Two individuals wearing silver and orange hazmat suits with full-face visors are walking across railroad tracks, carrying equipment. A third person in a red jacket stands nearby observing or documenting the activity. A passenger train car with partial lettering 'SKA' (likely Alaska Railroad) is visible in the background, set against a mountainous, snow-capped landscape.
    Two individuals wearing orange hazmat/chemical protective suits with full-face visors are working at a laboratory bench. They appear to be handling chemical equipment including glassware, tubing, and separation apparatus. The setting suggests a controlled hazardous materials response, forensic investigation, or training exercise.
    A person wearing a bright orange hazmat/chemical protective suit with a full-face respirator mask is visible in the foreground. They appear to be handling equipment in a dimly lit industrial or emergency response setting. A second person in lighter clothing is partially visible in the background.
    A laboratory bench in the foreground holds various glass scientific apparatus, including an Erlenmeyer flask, beakers, a separatory funnel, and tubing connected in an assembly. Through a rectangular opening or window in the background wall, a person wearing a full orange hazmat suit with a respirator/gas mask is visible. The contrast between the unprotected lab equipment in the foreground and the heavily protected individual in the background suggests a hazardous materials scenario.
    Two personnel in bright orange HAZMAT/CBRN encapsulated suits are carrying equipment cases across a gravel surface during what appears to be a military training exercise. In the background, soldiers in camouflage uniforms stand near a large tan field tent, with snow-capped mountains and bare trees visible in the distance. The setting suggests a cold-weather emergency response or CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) drill.
    Two individuals wearing full hazmat/CBRN protective suits with gas masks and yellow gloves are conducting what appears to be an inspection or response operation inside a building. They are equipped with handheld flashlights and detection equipment. The setting appears to be a storage or utility room with stacked boxes and folding chairs.

    Military personnel are conducting what appears to be a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) training exercise in an outdoor setting near mountainous terrain. A soldier in standard camouflage uniform is briefing or instructing several personnel, some of whom are wearing tan hazmat/protective suits. The setting includes decontamination equipment, yellow hazard materials, and a Hertz rental truck, suggesting a field training or emergency response exercise.
    A military personnel wearing a 'MED' patch on their OCP/multicam uniform is assisting another individual in donning or checking a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) protective suit with a full-face respirator mask. The scene appears to take place inside what looks like a ship's bridge or a maritime facility with large windows overlooking water. This appears to be a training or equipment inspection exercise.
    A red and white Fire-Rescue-Police vessel (registration AK 3595 AF) is docked alongside a larger vessel in what appears to be an Alaskan waterway. Multiple personnel in military/tactical gear and law enforcement clothing are gathered on the deck, appearing to conduct a transfer or boarding operation. The mountainous, snow-capped backdrop and overcast skies are consistent with an Alaskan coastal environment.
    The image shows what appears to be a military or emergency response training exercise taking place aboard a vessel or ferry. A soldier in U.S. Army MultiCam uniform is briefing or instructing personnel, one of whom is wearing full CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) protective gear including a respirator mask and hazmat suit. Observers in civilian clothing stand in the background watching the exercise.
    An aerial view of a red and white multi-agency emergency response vessel on open water. The boat is marked 'Fire - Rescue - Police' and bears Alaska registration number AK 3595 AF. Several personnel are visible on deck, suggesting an active operation or patrol.
    A red patrol or rescue boat is moving at speed across choppy water, creating a visible bow wake on both sides. The vessel is equipped with a mast, navigation lights, and what appears to be a blue emergency light on top of the cabin. In the background, an industrial port facility is visible with cranes, shipping containers, and forested mountains beyond.
