Members of the Fairbanks, North Pole and Fort Wainwright fire departments search for simulated victims during a rescue scenario March 27, 2014, in Fairbanks, Alaska, as part of exercise Ardent Sentry 2014. Ardent Sentry is a NORAD and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM)-directed exercise focusing on defense support of civil authorities in response to simulated weather, security and disaster contingencies. While Ardent Sentry is primarily a command post exercise, several field training events were conducted at various locations within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility.
