"When it comes to national defense, our message is simple: We are all in. Michigan is honored to host the Northern Strike military readiness exercises again this year. As Commander-in-Chief of the Michigan National Guard, I couldn't be prouder to support our troops as they train alongside servicemembers from across the country and the world. No matter the challenge, Michigan is ready to rise to the occasion, especially when the results make a real difference for our national defense and our communities."
