We were asked to arrange the information above (and take out some if necessary) based on our hierarchy lesson. I retained most of the information and arranged the more important ones in a shape to be able to capture the attention of whoever will be looking at this poster. I also emphasized the title of the event.

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 Cobra Warrior Monday 4th September 2023
On the first day of the second Cobra Warrior exercise in 2023, I made my first visit to RAF Waddington to try and capture some of the Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF) CF-188 Hornets :)
About half an hour after my arrival, one of the two Boeing E-3A Sentries parked on the west side of the airfield began to taxi for take off. Here is a video sequence showing LX-N90454 taxiing to the runway and taking to the air off runway 20 c/s NATO21. Note the blast of smoke - the NATO E-3s are still fitted with the original engines 😎 :)
LX-N90454 c/n 22849 (l/n 966) Boeing E-3A was delivered new to NATO in Mar 1983. Some 40 years later, the aircraft still flies for NATO, based in Germany.
'The Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) , is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft developed by Boeing, being derived from the Boeing 707 airliner. The aircraft provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome (Rotodome) above the fuselage.
In the mid-1960s, the US Air Force (USAF) was seeking an aircraft to replace its piston-engined Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star, which had been in service for over a decade. Testing of the first production E-3 began in October 1975, and the first USAF E-3 was delivered in March 1977. During the next seven years, a total of 34 aircraft were manufactured for the USAF.
NATO also had 18 aircraft manufactured, registered in neutral country Luxembourg and based at Geilenkirchen, Germany. 14 remain in service as of 2023 - one having been written off and three returned to the USA. The E-3 was also sold to the United Kingdom (seven), France (four) and Saudi Arabia (five, plus eight E-3-derived tanker aircraft). A total of 68 E-3 Sentries were built, most of which are still flying.' (Wiki - more info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_E-3_Sentry)
Exercise Cobra Warrior is a biannual exercise run by the Royal Air Force and is designed to exercise participants in high intensity large force tactical training. This year's second exercise is taking place from the 4th to the 22nd of September, with operations split between RAF Waddington, RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall. A list of the participating aircraft can be found here: www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=457&t=...

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.

Exercise Rafale Blanche of 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (5 GBMC) includes almost 2,500 soldiers from Valcartier and approximately 700 vehicles. Canadian and Polish soldiers train for winter weather combat operations in the Chaudiere-Appalaches region of Quebec.
Exercise participants practice winter survival skills, conduct long range patrolling, navigate in rural and urban settings, secure helicopter landing pads and complete a parachute drop in cold weather conditions. Soldiers also have the opportunity to meet with residents of the region and showcase the army equipment being used.
Two Polish Officers, one from the Army the other Navy work along side each other during Exercise Steadfast Juncture, which took place at Okehampton camp. Members of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), and various other elements of NATO forces came together for Exercise Steadfast Juncture to certify that the ARRC is capable and ready to assume command of the NATO Response Force (NRF) mission throughout 2013. Taking command of the NRF means that the ARRC will be rapidly deployable and could deploy worldwide is support of combat or humanitarian relief efforts.
