Members of the 163d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, California Air National Guard, prepare an MQ-9 Reaper aircraft for launch while in mission-oriented protective posture level 2 gear due to a simulated Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear threat during the wing’s contingency readiness inspection, exercise Grizzly Talon, at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., March 15, 2026. An inspection is the grindstone on which Airmen sharpen the skills necessary to perform critical functions in an array of scenarios. The feedback following the inspection will only further hone blindspots, increasing lethality and proficiency.(U.S. Air National Guard Photograph by Senior Master Sgt. Julianne Sitterding)
