Army Reserve participates in Operation Patriot Hook
U.S. Army Reserve Chief Warrant Officer Eugene C. Peters, a mobility warrant officer from Sacramento, Calif., with the 397th Direct Distribution Support Battalion, speaks to Army Reserve Soldiers at Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos, Calif., before they board a training flight on a C-17 Globemaster III April 23, 2016. The training flight, which transported an Army Light Medium Tactical Vehicle and troops from JFTB Los Alamitos to Naval Air Station North Island, Calif., was part of Operation Patriot Hook. Operation Patriot Hook is a joint service and inter-agency exercise which partners local military branches with members of local, federal, and state agencies to practice their combined response procedures in case of major regional disasters such as earth quakes, riots, or fires. In its 29th year as an exercise, agencies involved in this year's Operation Patriot Hook included the U.S. Army Reserve, the U.S. Air Force Reserve, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI.
