Wing completes first homeland defense ORI

Master Sgt. Michael Ludke, an Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare cell chief from the 123rd Airlift Wing, upchannels information during an evacuation of his building following a simulated attack May 20, 2010 at the Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulfport, Miss. The 123rd and two other units were being evaluated for wartime readiness as part of an Air Mobility Command Operational Readiness Inspection. The ORI was unique in that it marked the first time inspectors evaluated a unit's performance in defense of the United States, using scenarios that played out on American soil rather than a simulated overseas environment.
