 Throughout the month of August, the Ohio National Guard participated in Operation Northern Strike. Northern Strike is fully integrating new operational warfighting initiatives to include joint warfighting content. So here at Northern Strike, our unit is conducting our annual training. We've been working through operations with joint forces such as the Marines. We have some of the UK Army and the Latvians here as well. You not only learn a little bit about them and their country, but just really how people can come together better and making friends. Personally, my favorite part about Northern Strike would have to be the actual soldier training. I've actually learned how to drive an LMTV and a Humvee already. We've been getting surprise attacks by enemy forces helping our situational awareness. We've had drones dropping simulation grenades. We have had like a seaborn attack simulation and all that fun stuff and I just love that stuff. So far, yeah, we've been really kicking butt. It's been great. It's good teamwork and to see everybody work together. And then we're also using this time to get mission ready for the future in case our brigade were to deploy. We're porting for the 196th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment from Camp Grail in Michigan on a specialist in her IED.
