Tech. Sgt. Dennis Haubrich Medical noncommissioned officer assigned to the 13th Civil Support team, Rhode Island National Guard, inspects the filter element attached to the initial response team member’s facemask prior to his entry into the simulated incident site aboard the Glacier Express vessel cruising through Resurrection Bay off of the coast of Seward, Alaska, May 19, in support of Exercise ORCA 21. ORCA is a chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear threats response exercise designed for participants to provide support in the aftermath of hazardous materials incidents. ORCA tests interoperability between agencies, increases opportunities for working relationships, and practices requests for assistance methods. Approximately 250 National Guardsmen from CST units in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Idaho, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin are in Alaska to participate in Exercise ORCA 2021. Numerous support units and civilian agencies participated in the exercise as well. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Dana Rosso)
