U. S. Army North, U. S. Northern Command’s Joint Force Land Component Command’s Exercise Vibrant Response 15, a national-disaster command post response exercise, kicked off May 3 at Camp Atterbury, Ind. The exercise will run through May 10 and test the capabilities of the federal response to meet the expectations of the nation. It provides realistic training to prepare chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response units to integrate with civilian partners and respond to natural or manmade catastrophic CBRN events. JTF-CS anticipates, plans and prepares for CBRN response operations. (Official DOD photo by Senior Airman Christopher Reel)
