Air National Guard emergency management Airmen trained through Exercise Serow Samurai at Misawa Air Base, Japan, strengthening chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response capabilities in a realistic Indo-Pacific training environment.
The seven-day deployment for training brought Airmen from Utah, Minnesota, Ohio and California together to practice command and control, reconnaissance and surveillance, munitions sampling, decontamination and field reporting. The exercise tested how emergency management teams communicate under pressure, use new response technologies and integrate with an active-duty installation during a simulated CBRN incident.
Training like this helps Airmen build confidence, sharpen technical skills and prepare for the complex conditions they may face during real-world response operations.

Emergency management Airmen from five Air National Guard units completed Exercise Serow Samurai, a seven-day deployment for training at Misawa Air Base, Japan, focused on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear response capabilities, command and control, field reconnaissance, munitions sampling and decontamination operations.
Airmen from the 151st Wing, Utah Air National Guard; 133rd Airlift Wing, Minnesota Air National Guard; 179th Cyberspace Wing, Ohio Air National Guard; 121st Air Refueling Wing, Ohio Air National Guard; and 163rd Civil Engineer Squadron, California Air National Guard, participated in the training. The exercise brought emergency management professionals together to test updated procedures, use emerging response technologies and strengthen relationships with one another and the active-duty force at Misawa.
The training culminated in a 28-hour continuous-operations capstone exercise built around a simulated CBRN incident near a critical flightline facility. In the scenario, base defense forces reported a small drone crash involving an unexploded improvised munition leaking an unknown liquid and emitting a suspicious vapor. The Emergency Operations Center activated the CBRN Control Center to assess the threat, build a common operating picture, run hazard models and deploy a four-person response team to investigate, collect samples and identify the notional hazard.
