“These types of exercises are important to us because it gives us an opportunity to work with our civilian counterparts,” said Brig. Gen. Janeen Birckhead, Commander of the Maryland National Guard.
Soldiers participated in various scenarios including active shooter, civil disturbance, decontamination of radiological explosion and medical evacuation.
Elements of the Joint Task Force – Maryland were also deployed to support the Emergency Response and Defense Support of Civil Authorities operations to practice interagency coordination.
“In the future, we’ll be able to work better together in a more cohesive manner because of this exercise,” said Birckhead.
