U.S. Army Capt. Nicholas Gaxiola, a summary court martial officer assigned to the Joint Personal Effects Depot, explains expeditionary mortuary processes using dummies and simulated training scenarios as part of Exercise Northern Strike 26-2 to a group of participants at Grayling Army Airfield, Michigan, Aug. 9, 2026. As part of NS 26-2, Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, Navy morticians and 3F1 Silver Flag instructors train participants together in a realistic, joint-service environment alongside Marine Corps Personnel Retrieval and Processing (PRP) Company and Army 92M (Fatality management specialists). This ensures joint service personnel receive world-class training and are prepared to deploy and operate seamlessly with joint and coalition forces, maintaining the optimal standard of care in any combat or austere environment.
