U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Justin Sawgle, a petroleum, oils, and lubricants technician assigned to the 127th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Michigan Air National Guard, and Latvian Air Force Sgt. Andris Masiulis, refuel a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon during Exercise Northern Strike 2024-2, at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Michigan on Aug. 6, 2024.
NS24-2, one of the Department of Defense's largest reserve component readiness exercises, is scheduled to take place at Michigan's National All Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC) from Aug. 3-17, 2024. Over 6,300 participants from 32 states and territories and several international participants will converge at the NADWC. Exercise Northern Strike is the premier reserve component training event designed to build readiness with joint and partner forces in all domains of warfare. Joint exercises, like NS24-2, with international partners enhance interoperability, ensuring that allied forces can work seamlessly in response to global threats. This collaboration addresses specific security challenges, such as regional instability and the need for a coordinated defense strategy against potential adversaries. The Michigan National Guard is better prepared to operate in diverse environments and support broader national security objectives by training with international partners. Latvia and Michigan have been partnered together through the State Partnership Program since 1992. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Tristan D. Viglianco)
