Northern Strike Terrain
The Michigan National Guard commissioned two 8 × 8 foot terrain models for Exercise Northern Strike, a regional view and a close look at Camp Grayling.
Two scales, two questions
One model shows Michigan, its lakes and parts of the neighboring states and Canada at 1:408,000. The other looks closely at Camp Grayling at 1:38,400. Together they let the training team move from regional orientation to the local training area, without forcing very different levels of detail onto one model.
The two displays have the same physical footprint but represent very different geographic extents. The regional model’s reduction is more than ten times greater than that of the Camp Grayling model. This allows the wider Michigan setting to be considered separately from local terrain. The training team can use the pair to distinguish regional orientation from discussion of the closer training-area layout.
