Grizzly Field Exercise 2012 prepares for the unexpected
During Grizzly Field Exercise 2012, the 163rd Reconnaissance Wing engaged with its primary platform, the MQ-1 Predator, and was tasked with providing full motion video to the State Joint Operations Center, 234th Intelligence Squadron, Nongovernmental agencies, Northern Command, and the 601st Air Operations Center in support of a search and rescue mission for possible survivors. The exercise was a proof of concept for domestic operations in assisting with disaster response. The joint exercise marked a pivotal turning point for cross agency involvement with the Army National Guard, State Military Reserve, and civilian agencies. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Neil S.
