Hill, Va., Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, and Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La. The exercise also incorporates numerous aviation and special operations units from the active duty Army, along with units from the U.S. Navy Reserve. (Photo by Capt. Andrew J.
