THE biggest live exercise of its kind ever held in Greater Manchester – Exercise Triton II – came to an end this morning (Friday, July 16, 2016) after months of intense planning.
Around 36 organisations across the region and nationally have been taking part in this major emergency planning exercise which saw dozens of emergency vehicles at sites across Greater Manchester and Chinook helicopters flying across the skies.
The complex scenario used was designed to test how local authorities, emergency services and other partners are equipped to tackle a major emergency working together.
Participating ‘players’ also included the military, government, health and utility companies, as well as voluntary agencies.
The exercise started on Monday, July 11, 2016, with ‘warnings’ from the Met Office regarding adverse weather and from the Environment Agency about the growing risk of regional flooding.
The emergency services, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and partners put procedures in place to ensure that where possible properties and critical infrastructure were protected and the public were warned. This theme was carried on through Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
To ensure that both players and plans were tested to their full, a dramatic scenario developed on Thursday, July 14, whereby the bank on the Dove Stone Reservoir in Oldham was breached and water cascaded through a number of boroughs within Greater Manchester.
This meant that evacuation procedures had to be put in place and rest centres set up. Later in the day, a coach ploughed into the River Tame in a mock crash and a full-scale search and rescue operation was carried out.
Paul Argyle, GMFRS’ Deputy County Fire Officer and Chair of Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, said: “Exercise Triton II was a hugely complex emergency planning exercise and I would like to thank all of the agencies that have taken part this week.
"This was a very detailed scenario which had impacts across every part of the region and necessitated a full range of partners taking part.
"The scale of the destruction and chaos in the exercise was deliberately designed to test the region at full stretch.
"We have to do this to ensure we are well prepared to deal with any future real-life event or disaster that might occur – and it is also invaluable that those taking part got the chance to practise essential response skills that would be used during a major incident like this.
"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who took part in this exercise. The patience and understanding of local residents and communities on Thursday (as response plans went into effect at 'live' sites) was also greatly appreciated.
“All players have now been 'stood down'. Our next task is to evaluate how the exercise went, step by step. We will want to find out what worked well and crucially to identify and learn any lessons that could help us in the future in real-life situations. I would like to point out that incidents as extreme as this are highly unlikely, but ensuring we practice our response means that we are ready to respond to a variety of scenarios."
Students and staff from Hartlepool College of Further Education played a major part in one of the largest emergency services training exercises to be held in the north east for many years.
Exercise “Sandpiper” was designed to test the response of police, ambulance and fire services in the event of an “active shooter” scenario, where public safety is endangered by a gunman or gunmen. Although such incidents have recently been highlighted by events in Australia and France, Sandpiper was actually conceived over a year ago

Exercise Javelin Chase
Brig. Tim Carmichael, commander, 1 Signal Brigade, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), hosted Exercise Javelin Chase (EJC), July 8-9. The race was organized to raise funds to support the Help for Heroes charity.
EJC is a 24-hour running race where 8-man teams will compete to see which team will complete the most laps on a one-mile course in 24-hours. The winning team will be the team that has completed the most amounts of laps in the time period. This could vary from 150 to 200 laps.
Each team had to raise a minimum of £250 to participate in EJC.
“This is a charity race to raise money for Help for Heroes, which is a national charity that looks after the needs of injured military serving members and former service members,” said Brig. Carmichael.
He said they hope to raise a total of £5000 if not more and every single penny will be donated to Help for Heroes charity.
The event took place at the sports field behind HQ ARRC Officer’s Mess. The course was on grass and tracks with no tarmac that winds around and through the woods. As if it wasn’t going to be challenging enough to run 24-hours, the rain on opening day would make it a little more testing.
In the 24-hours a combined total of 2426.00 miles were covered, with the winning team, 299 Signal Squadron, Special Communication running 222 of those miles, and 22 Signal Regiment coming in second with 217 laps.

St. Paul's Church (Bad Kreuznach)
St. Paul's Church and St. Paul chapel Bad Kreuznach
Paul Church at night
The St. Paul's Church is a church building in Bad Kreuznach. It lies on the Wörth, an island in the Nahe, in the city center between the Kreuznacher Old and New Town.
History
The pre-Reformation church
The original structure was built from 1311 to 1332 through the initiative of John II, Count of Sponheim. Originally designed only as a chapel, arose a three-nave Gothic church with a transept and ridge turrets above the crossing. According to the patron saints of the former parish church it was consecrated to Our Lady, St. Kilian and St. Martin. Approval for the consecration of the church gave in 1332 Baldwin of Luxembourg, who at that time exercised as Archbishop of Trier the administration rights of the Mainz bishop. As feast days of the consecration of the church from the 15th century the feast of the birth of John the Baptist and the feast of his Decapitation are passed on. Subsequently the church was beneficiary of numerous donations, also around 1340 the cemetery on the Wörth was created. Since the construction of 1332 did not yet have a Western end, after 1400 the to this day preserved Gothic choir could be added without major alterations to the church, which was intended as a grave lay of the Counts of Sponheim. The establishment of the city as a condominium in 1437 had also consequences for the church on the Wörth. In the political tension between the Margrave of Baden and the Palgraves of Palatine-Simmern came town and just the community because of its border location again and again in development-inhibiting conflicts. In addition, the church since its early days was frequently affected by floods, which, for example, in spingtime of 1458 caused great damage and to which numerous altars fell victim. Subsequently also construction activity came to a halt, beyound repair work and some renovations in 1516 no late medieval interventions in the building fabric are proved.
From the Reformation to the destruction
Although 1521 to 1523 on the only a few kilometers away Ebernburg already numerous of the historically most significant reformers gathered, held the Kreuznacher City Church to the Old Believers.
The Lutheran-Calvinist disputes
The after the taking office of Ottheinrich in 1556 carried out church visitation led to the introduction of the Reformation in accordance with the provisions of the Peace of Augsburg. In fact, however, only with the overthrow of the old Plebanus (Leutpriester) and the establishment of the previous leiningschen court preacher Christoph Stolberg in the fall of 1557 of a Reformed congregation can be question. After the turn of Frederick III. to Calvinism in 1563, that also Stolberg with the community reproduced, the secularization of Kreuznacher monasteries was stronger pushed ahead, which also the area of supervision of the Church increased handsomely. As a result of the accession to power of Louis VI, tending to a strict Lutheranism, in 1576 also Stolberg was removed from office and the community in the sense of the later Formula of Concord directed. After the death of Louis finally the Calvinists got the upper hand again. Under John Casimir in 1585 the Lutheran preacher was deposed. With the appointment of a new pastorate there were major conflicts, which also reflect the political divisions of the city. They agreed to a changing right, so that in filling the pastorate alternately Baden or the Palatinate should be given a chance. In the wake of clashes that lasted until 1587, the Electoral Palatinate proved to be stronger. For the church on the Wörth this meant that there the Calvinist tradition could set ultimately and permanently.
The Thirty Years War and the time as a simultaneous church
The next turning point in community life arose in the course of the Thirty Years War. Because Kreuznach since 1620 under Marquis Spinola was base of Spanish troops, now increasingly the Counter-Reformation set in. 1624 in the choir of the Wörth church began the worships of the now in the city established Jesuits, by which it now acted as a simultaneous church. 1626, finally, the Calvinist religion in the city was banned, which led to the emigration of many church members. Only with the conquest of the city by Gustavus Adolphus in 1632, when the church probably suffered considerable damage, ended the Zwangskatholisierung (forced catholicizing). All three confessions were now allowed in the city and each of them got a church building assigned. The Wörth church in the process went to the Calvinists. However, after the imperial troops had captured the city in 1635, in 1636 the worship of the Jesuits in the choir of the church building started again. It was not until 1652 as the church after the Kreuznacher agreement again for the exclusive use and possession of the Reformed church was passed over.
Florescence of the town church and destruction by the French
Subsequently the Wörth church as only Kreuznacher city church for the authorithies also was of representative of importance. As a sermon church in the course of the 17th century through the supplementary galleries it got furthermore additional capacity. The florescence of the church, however, during the Palatinate War of Succession should come to an abrupt end. Bombardment and destruction of the adjacent Kauzenburg 1688 was followed by a long-lasting ravage of the troops of Louis XIV and the burning down of the church in 1689. Later only the choir could be resurfaced to such an extent that it as a chapel the community again could be provided. The general decline of the city is reflected in the use of the church building too. The communities were so shrunken that the Church 1698-1708 and 1721 as a simultaneous church equally by Roman Catholics (in the choir) and the Reformed church (in the separated long house) was used.
From Reconstruction to the Second World War
Between 1768 and 1781, first the tower, then the nave under the direction of Philipp Heinrich Hellermann was rebuilt. Because of its consecration on Peter and Paul 1781, the church was named St. Paul's Church.
1782 here Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling (1740-1817) by his friend, the reformed Inspector Daniel Ludwig Wundt (1741-1805), to his second wife Susanne (Salome) Maria ("Selma") of St. George (1760-1790) was married.
The shift of the political boundaries since Napoleon's conquests also had consequences for the Paul parish. The final allocation of the territory to the Kingdom of Prussia the community also let come under the Summepiscopat (Bishop pro tempore - i.e. the king as the head of the Church) of Frederick William III. Accordingly, it was also affected by the royal unification considerations that were well received in the city. Here on the Reformation day in 1817 the first celebration of reunification on the left-bank of the Rhine of Reformed and a Lutheran congregation was celebrated, on the occasion of which between the tower of St. Paul's Church and the tower of Church of Wilhelm a chain was strained.
On 19 June 1843, superintendent Johann Wilhelm Schneegans (* July 14, 1776 Kreuznach; † August 12, 1858 ibid) here Karl Marx married to Jenny von Westphalen.
The service was held at that time in the nave, while the choir was left to decay. With the help of English spa guests but began in 1840 the reconstruction so that between 1863 and 1914 here Anglican services were celebrated.
During the Second World War mainly the failed attempt by the Wehrmacht to blow up the bridge over the river Nahe had fatal consequences. The entire force of the explosion of attached explosives erupted in the direction of the surrounding buildings and unroofed the church.
The church since the Reconstruction
1952-1954 followed the reconstruction.
Present use
The Paul church is used in addition to the parochial service for diverse cultural offerings, there regularly concerts of choirs and symphony orchestras take place. In addition to the choir of St. Paul's church, the Concert Company Bad Kreuznach here holds regularly its Oratorio performances. The liturgical tradition of the Anglican Church closely related Michael Brotherhood as well in the eastern part of the church is domestic. The approximately 1200 seats comprising construction is the largest church between Mainz and Trier and plays due to its immediate proximity to the superintendency of the church district at Nahe and Glan a special role for the Evangelical life in the region.
Choir at the Paul's church
The choir in 1956 by former church musician Wilfried Bergmann as a youth choir was founded. 1960 Dieter Wellmann took over the choir. Since 1996, the choir is under the direction of Beate Rux-Voss.
Organs
1714 the Reformed congregation in St. Paul's Church received an organ of the Hanau organ builder Johann Valentin Marckert (Marquardt).
Both in St. Paul's Church as well as in Paul Chapel later organs of Windesheimer company brothers Oberlinger organ building were installed. The great organ of St. Paul's, which stands on the rear loft, was built in 1957 and has in its 16' housing prospect 43 stops on three manuals and pedal. The neo-Baroque organ case corresponds to the opposite baroque altar/pulpit ensemble in the church. The housing frame and the cornices of the organ are made of solid walnut. The of the Bad Kreuznacher sculptor Karl Steiner carved and gilded leaf ornaments show vines and grapes. The wind chests were built of oak with capped sheathes of oak wood according to historical construction. Organ builder Ernst Oberlinger designed together with his brother Hermann, the Bad Kreuznach architect Karl Schneider and the former cantor of St. Paul's Church, Wilfried Bergmann, the organ in neo-baroque style.
2012, behind the Baroque altar/pulpit ensemble, a new, designed by the current cantor Beate Rux-Voss instrument of Eule organ building Bautzen (op. 668) was built in and consecrated on 28 May 2012. It has two manuals and includes 40 stops with various aids:

Trivia
1685-1689 Heinrich Horch as deacon of the city church was active.
On May 2, 1929 Albert Schweitzer appeared as organist with a program of Bach and Mendelssohn in the church.
For about 50 years in the local history literature on a wedding of Karl Marx and Jenny von Westphalen in St. Paul's church is reported. According to research by reverend Albert Paul Rosenkranz but St. Paul's church in 1843 was construction site for a major renovation. Place of marriage was probably the opposite Wilhelm Church.

THE biggest live exercise of its kind ever held in Greater Manchester – Exercise Triton II – came to an end this morning (Friday, July 16, 2016) after months of intense planning.
Around 36 organisations across the region and nationally have been taking part in this major emergency planning exercise which saw dozens of emergency vehicles at sites across Greater Manchester and Chinook helicopters flying across the skies.
The complex scenario used was designed to test how local authorities, emergency services and other partners are equipped to tackle a major emergency working together.
Participating ‘players’ also included the military, government, health and utility companies, as well as voluntary agencies.
The exercise started on Monday, July 11, 2016, with ‘warnings’ from the Met Office regarding adverse weather and from the Environment Agency about the growing risk of regional flooding.
The emergency services, including Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), and partners put procedures in place to ensure that where possible properties and critical infrastructure were protected and the public were warned. This theme was carried on through Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, 2016.
To ensure that both players and plans were tested to their full, a dramatic scenario developed on Thursday, July 14, whereby the bank on the Dove Stone Reservoir in Oldham was breached and water cascaded through a number of boroughs within Greater Manchester.
This meant that evacuation procedures had to be put in place and rest centres set up. Later in the day, a coach ploughed into the River Tame in a mock crash and a full-scale search and rescue operation was carried out.
Paul Argyle, GMFRS’ Deputy County Fire Officer and Chair of Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, said: “Exercise Triton II was a hugely complex emergency planning exercise and I would like to thank all of the agencies that have taken part this week.
"This was a very detailed scenario which had impacts across every part of the region and necessitated a full range of partners taking part.
"The scale of the destruction and chaos in the exercise was deliberately designed to test the region at full stretch.
"We have to do this to ensure we are well prepared to deal with any future real-life event or disaster that might occur – and it is also invaluable that those taking part got the chance to practise essential response skills that would be used during a major incident like this.
"I would particularly like to thank all the volunteers who took part in this exercise. The patience and understanding of local residents and communities on Thursday (as response plans went into effect at 'live' sites) was also greatly appreciated.
“All players have now been 'stood down'. Our next task is to evaluate how the exercise went, step by step. We will want to find out what worked well and crucially to identify and learn any lessons that could help us in the future in real-life situations. I would like to point out that incidents as extreme as this are highly unlikely, but ensuring we practice our response means that we are ready to respond to a variety of scenarios."

Exercise Javelin Chase
Brig. Tim Carmichael, commander, 1 Signal Brigade, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), hosted Exercise Javelin Chase (EJC), July 8-9. The race was organized to raise funds to support the Help for Heroes charity.
EJC is a 24-hour running race where 8-man teams will compete to see which team will complete the most laps on a one-mile course in 24-hours. The winning team will be the team that has completed the most amounts of laps in the time period. This could vary from 150 to 200 laps.
Each team had to raise a minimum of £250 to participate in EJC.
“This is a charity race to raise money for Help for Heroes, which is a national charity that looks after the needs of injured military serving members and former service members,” said Brig. Carmichael.
He said they hope to raise a total of £5000 if not more and every single penny will be donated to Help for Heroes charity.
The event took place at the sports field behind HQ ARRC Officer’s Mess. The course was on grass and tracks with no tarmac that winds around and through the woods. As if it wasn’t going to be challenging enough to run 24-hours, the rain on opening day would make it a little more testing.
In the 24-hours a combined total of 2426.00 miles were covered, with the winning team, 299 Signal Squadron, Special Communication running 222 of those miles, and 22 Signal Regiment coming in second with 217 laps.
