Crumpled cars were stacked on top of one another. Shredded cloth-ing and debris littered the landscape in front of buildings with blown out windows. Tired, hungry, thirsty, and injured citizens walked around in a zombie-like state, desperately seeking assistance. A scene like this is a community’s worst nightmare and one areas around the world have ex-perienced following catastrophic events. For this scene however, it was fortunate to be part of a training exercise called “Guardian Response,” with staged missions, props and actors.

More than 400 South Carolina Army National Guard Soldiers are participating in Guardian Response at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, this month. They joined over a thousand other Soldiers from the National Guard and Reserves supporting civil authorities for the training. Hosted by U.S. Northern Command, the participants reacted and responded to a variety of scenarios in a mock nuclear event, where terrorists detonated a 20 kiloton dirty bomb in a generic U.S. city.

Army Maj. Gen. Michael Stone, Task Force 46 commander, and Michigan National Guardsman, held a mock press conference April 10 to kick off the exercise. “Task Force 46 serves as the command and

control of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Element Bravo, coordinating efforts in case of a catastrophic event in the United States,” said Stone. “Most of the members of Task Force are Citizen-Soldiers, ready to help their neighbors recover and get back to a sense of normalcy as soon as possible.”

Task Force 46 consists of Element Alpha (Army Reserves) and Ele-ment Bravo (National Guard) from eight states across the U.S. Assets include medics, chemical companies, engineers and other Soldiers who are able to respond to a variety of natural and man-made disasters.

One of the primary units working with TF 46 as Element Bravo was the South Carolina Army National Guard’s 218th Maneuver Enhance-ment Brigade. The 218th MEB brought engineers, medics and chemical companies under their command, but also had engineers with the Indi-ana National Guard working with them during this exercise.

]_����� ����� ���<����� ��� ����������!���� ����� ��� ���-tion event here in the United States,” said Army Col. Robert Carruthers, commander, 218th MEB. “Our two primary missions are technical search and rescue into an area that’s been affected, and mass decontami-nation and medical care of the civilian population.”

Military brats at Fort Jackson can test their targeting skills with help from Nerf and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service during a special event to celebrate Month of the Military Child.

The Nerf Blasters event will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 21 at the Fort Jackson Exchange Main Store toy department. Military children age 8 and older can choose from an assortment of Nerf Blasters and practice their accuracy by shooting at a target in the Blaster testing tent.

“This event celebrates older kids during the Month of the Military Child,” said Fort Jackson Exchange Main Store Manager, Kevin Lowans. “Hopefully, they’ll meet new friends and set up a time to play with Nerf blasters after this event.”

The Nerf Blasters event is one of several in-store activities planned by the Exchange in cel-ebration of Month of the Military Child, which every April recognizes the contributions of Warf-ighters’ children to the armed forces community.

Fort Jackson Soldiers and Family members competed April 14 in the Tin Man Reverse Sprint Triathlon. The event, which kicked off at 8 a.m. at Knight Pool, tasked athletes with a 5K run, bicycling a 15K and finishing the route with a 150-meter swim – all in the name of sexual harassment and assault prevention.

Fort Jackson is recognizing volunteers’ ex-traordinary service and support this week as part of Volunteer Appreciation Week to highlight the volunteers’ contributions and accomplishments. The post will continue to honor volunteers dur-ing the installation quarterly awards ceremony at 3:15 p.m. April 27 at the NCO club. The cere-mony will include the 2nd Quarter Commanding General Helping Hand award, the Volunteer of the Year and the Volunteer Hall of Fame awards.

The Fort Jackson community is invited to at-tend and support our outstanding volunteers.

Volunteers are essential to the Army’s mis-sion. Thousands of volunteers around the world devote their time regularly by serving the Army community.

Volunteers are able to accomplish community work that would not have been done otherwise ������������� ��� ����������� ������� �faced by the Army. The support of volunteers as-sists in accomplishing the Army’s missions. The Army recognizes and appreciates the commit-����� �����<���� ���� ������ ���� ��������-teers.

It was a great time for the kids to learn and have fun at the same time, Family members said of the Family Fun Fair held April 13 at Patriots Park on post.

“It’s important for kids to learn these things in a fun way,” said Jocelyne Orn-dorf, a Family member, amid the noise and bustle of hundreds of Soldiers, civil-ians and their Family members climbing a rock wall and entering a bouncy house run by the Fort Jackson Fire Department.

These are just two of the myriad of games and activities children and adults could participate in at the fair. There were many games, crafts and activities to try ����������<���<��� � ���� �������� ������������������

The Family Fun Fair, put on by Child, Youth Services, brought together many ����� ������� �������<�������� �� �����������������

“What is great about the Fort Jackson community is how much support they give” to events, said Sunny Bolton, Fort Jackson’s Child, Youth Services Coor-dinator. “It tells the community we are here for each other; we are here to prove a safe environment for our most valuable resource – our service members and their Families.”

It was a great way to reach children on their level one worker said.

Brandy Schaefer, dressed up like a collared green, moved through the fair motivating chil-dren to eat healthy through a mix-ture of glee and silliness.

“If we teach them young, be silly and get down on their level I think they’ll learn a lot better,” said Schaefer, a Child, Youth Ser-vices nutritionist.

Guardsmen have to certify and validate once a year because of how complex these missions are.

“This training is critical because it is a non-standard mission for us,” said Carruthers. “We have our main �� ����� !����� � � ���� !��������mission. But this is an additional mission we have as Guardsmen, to protect the homeland. Not a lot of people appreciate or under-stand that the National Guard also has this homeland defense and response mission in which we re-spond to natural disasters or terror-ist events. That is equally important �� ��� !��������� <�� �� �� �� �home, this mission may be more important than the overseas mis-sion.”

Army Sgt. Kyle Everett, a com-bat medic with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 118th Infantry, 218th

MEB agreed that this training was atypical of what he normally trains for.

“I’m used to combat medic training with my unit,” said Ever-ett. “What we are doing here would be training for in-state, so we are treating our own citizens, civilians instead of our battle buddies to our left and right. So, it’s a little dif-ferent from what I’m used to nor-mally.”

Many of the Soldiers involved were looking forward to training for scenarios that they have not ex-perienced as well as working with units whom they were unaccus-tomed to collaborating with.

“I was looking to see a level of training that I haven’t seen be-fore,” said Everett. “I was looking forward to working with a chemi-cal company, because I’ve never worked with them before or a hos-pital unit. And working and treat-ing civilians was really gratifying. ��� �! ������<������������� ����I think we accomplished our mis-sion to our utmost ability.”

A civilian role player is evaluated for injuries by a U.S. Army Soldier with the 251st Area Medi-cal Support Company, South Carolina Army National Guard, before entering a decontamina-tion site during Vibrant Response 18 at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, Indiana.
