U.S. Air National Guard Civil Engineers receive instruction from Lt. Col. Bret Bailey, 157th civil engineering squadron commander, before beginning a training evolution during Patriot Forge II at Ft. Devens Army Reserve Training Area, Massachusetts, Aug. 11, 2026. During the exercise, ANG civil engineers practiced tangible, cross-functional combat skills with a focus on tactical medicine, convoy operations, and infantry tasks to make them more lethal and survivable. The exercise allowed Civil Engineers to train critical defensive skills, vital when supporting the defense of an installation. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by: Master Sgt. Nicholas Perez)
