    The image shows a landscape with multiple white smoke plumes rising into a hazy gray sky, consistent with artillery or munitions detonations during a military exercise or combat operation. In the mid-ground, a dense curtain of white streaking trails is visible along a treeline, characteristic of white phosphorus or smoke munitions bursting. The terrain is rolling grassland with scattered trees under overcast conditions.

Northern Strike is an Army sponsored, multi-component, multinational exercise designed to build readiness and enhance interoperability to fight and win. Northern Strike 26-2, Michigan's largest and longest joint readiness exercise, is held from Aug. 1 to 15, 2026, at the National All-Domain Warfighting Center. This year's exercise will feature around 9,000 participants. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Pfc. Misty Cobb)
