Brandon Lalonde, commander of the 428th Engineer Company (CEC-I), 416th Theater Engineer Command, demonstrates an M18A1 Claymore during Northern Strike 26-2 at Camp Grayling, Michigan, Aug. 4, 2026. Northern Strike is an Army-sponsored, multi-component, multinational exercise designed to build readiness and enhance interoperability with allied forces. The exercise, Michigan’s largest and longest annual military exercise, runs Aug. 1-15, 2026, at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center and validates the readiness of the joint reserve force.
The NADWC spans Michigan’s Northern Lower Peninsula, encompassing the capabilities of the Camp Grayling Maneuver Training Center and the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center and their combined ranges and airspace. This system of training areas is the premier location to replicate the future operating environment, offering integrated training across all domains. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
