U.S. Army 1st. Sgt. Andrew Hardin, the site safety NCO, and U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Benjamin Varley, a decontamination NCO, both with the Minnesota National Guard’s 55th Civil Support Team, discuss the setup of a decontamination site during a port security exercise in Duluth, Minnesota, June 10, 2026. Their coordination is crucial for establishing safe and effective procedures for decontaminating first responders and equipment in the event of a real-world chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) incident. The 55th CST partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard and other local and federal agencies for the exercise. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Megan Shaner)
