During the last full week of February 2018, hundreds of National Guard personnel from Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, South Dakota, Utah and Washington deployed to Valdez, Alaska, in response to a major CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) event.

Operation Arctic Eagle 2018 was underway, a ‘Russian’ satellite had crashed to Earth contaminating the impact area with radiation.  National Guard units, along with various federal agencies, had six hours to complete their mission: “The Homeland Response Force is a regionally aligned Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, high-yield Explosive asset established in response to natural, man-made, or terrorist initiated CBRNE disasters.”-First Sergeant Fausto Crespo, Washington National Guard

There are ten Homeland Response Force units across the United States, working in conjunction with FEMA’s ten regions.  Region Ten includes Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and Washington.

Don’t worry Arctic Eagle 2018 was a training event……or was it? Mulder, Scully?

During the training event an actual CBRN event took place, forcing the 103rd Civil Support Team of the Alaska National Guard, and the 10th Homeland Response Team of the Washington National Guard, to respond, 23FEB2018:
