FORT McCOY, Wis. - U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joel Ayala, assigned to the 103rd Security Forces Squadron, Connecticut Air National Guard, assists a role player during a simulated emergency response scenario at the Combined Arms Collective Training Facility at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Aug. 25, 2026. Patriot 26, an Air National Guard-hosted exercise taking place at Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center, brings together about 1,000 Airmen and Soldiers from National Guard units across 35 states, along with federal, state and local agencies, to enhance domestic response readiness and interagency coordination during large-scale emergencies. The scenario allows aircrews to practice locating, hoisting and evacuating simulated patients from areas where terrain or other conditions may prevent an aircraft from landing.
