The exercise centered on emergency response by personnel from the Wing as well as agencies from the community. The exercise gave them an opportunity to train and evaluate their response capability.

Some community agencies that participated include the St. Louis County Sherriff's Department, Minnesota State Patrol, St. Louis County Dispatch/911 Center, Duluth Airport Authority, Gold Cross Ambulance, St. Luke's Hospital, Essentia Health, and the American Red Cross.
