An oil spill removal organization’s (OSRO) spill response operating team (SROT) lifts a spill response barge into the water as part of a training activity. These types of vessels serve as platforms for deploying other response equipment such as skimmers and containment boom as well as serving as temporary storage sites for recovered oil. BSEE Preparedness Analysts from the Oil Spill Preparedness Division (OSPD) regularly inspect these types of equipment and tactics during training and exercise activities to ensure compliance with regulations and to monitor the overall vigor of the oil spill preparedness and response community.

Lt. Col. Allan Hamley, Sydney, Australia, is supporting Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps' (HQ ARRC) largest annual training exercise held in the UK, along with four other members from the Australian Army.
NATO still develops relations with a range of countries beyond the Euro Atlantic area and Australia is counted among these countries, which are referred to as “partners across the globe.”
Hamley will be working as the SO1 in Plans and Operations to assist towards the development and certifications for HQ ARRC.
This is Lt. Col Hamley’s first time attending the exercise and is excited to be participating.
“I enjoy being here particularly because of the collaboration between all the other countries that are participating,” Hamely said. “Just building trust and friendships and meeting new mates makes it that much more enjoyable.
The Aussi’s are very proud to be here”, he added. He went on to say that since Afghanistan, Australia have had a really good relationship with NATO due to some of its shared experiences.
Exercise Arrcade Fusion will train and test more than 2000 multinational service members on issues ranging from signals and logistics, to planning and response, within a complex exercise.
“The opportunity to be invited to take part in an exercise like this brings great benefit to Australia and we appreciate the opportunity,” Hamley concluded.

Dymaxion Deployment Units
Camp Evans
Wall Township, NJ
Of special interest is a collection of a dozen futuristic buildings designed by architect Buckminster Fuller. Fuller manufactured around 200 DDU's (Dymaxion Deployment Units) during 1940-41, and while most of the circular metal buildings have disappeared, approximately a dozen of them survive at Camp Evans. Preserved mostly through neglect, the buildings originally were linked to Radar research. You can access at least four of the unlocked buildings located in the back of the property. ~ [Paul McLeod, 03/31/2011]
Camp Evans
Wall Township, NJ
Camp Evans is a former military base associated with Fort Monmouth, in the U.S. State of New Jersey. It is located in Wall Township, although it is often said to be located in Belmar (its postal zip code is Belmar's, although it lies outside the borough). The property overlooks the Shark River.
Camp Evans is named after Lt. Col. Paul Wesley Evans of the Signal Corps, who worked in the development of wireless transmission at the Belmar Station in the early 20th century. After World War I, Evans was reassigned to the Panama Canal Zone as the presiding Signal Officer.
The original buildings were built by the American Marconi Company under a contract to the J.G. White Engineering Corp. between 1912 and 1914 as part of Guglielmo Marconi's "Wireless Girdle" around the Earth. It was then known as the Belmar Station.
The Belmar Station served as Marconi's receiving station, "Duplexed" with his New Brunswick high power transmitting station. An operator in Wall keyed the New Brunswick transmitter, 32 miles to the northwest, through a landline connection. Edwin Armstrong and David Sarnoff tested and perfected the regenerative circuit at the Wall site, on the night of January 31/February 1, 1914.
An acoustic receiver is prepared for deployment along the Tampa pipeline sampling area. The system is anchored to the bottom with an auger set in a concrete block, and a line runs from the auger to the base of the receiver with the receiver kept upright with two large floats. When acoustically tagged fish swim within range of the receiver (approximately 400 feet), the receiver logs the tag identification number, date, time and depth of the fish.

U.S. Air Force Capt. Matt Kettler, a C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft pilot assigned to the 17th Airlift Squadron, Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, conducts preflight checks during an Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise at Green Ramp, Pope Army Airfield, N.C., Jan. 27, 2015. Five hundred U.S. Army paratroopers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, were airdropped onto Wright Army Airfield, Fort Stewart, Ga., from five C-17 transport aircraft 18 hours after notification. As the nucleus of the nation's Global Response Force, the 82nd Airborne Division provides a strategic hedge for combatant commanders with a responsive, agile and operationally significant response force that is flexible in size and composition to accomplish missions anywhere in the world. Air Mobility Command's participation also illustrates the critical partnership between Mobility Air Forces and the U.S. Army by exercising Joint Forcible Entry: the capability of rapidly introducing forces into hostile environments to conduct operations—whether combat or humanitarian support.
