VDF training in Fairfax part of statewide readiness exercise
Members of the Virginia Defense Force conduct the Highland Guardian 23 statewide readiness exercise Oct. 14, 2023, in Fairfax, Virginia. The exercise tested the VDF’s communications and access control capabilities as well as provided training opportunities on operations center augmentation and systems used to maintain common operating picture. The exercise simulated a severe winter storm and how the VDF would support the Virginia National Guard’s role as a member of the state multi-agency response team.
