The heart of any modern warship the Ops Room is where the sensors and links with other warships and aircraft are coordinated to give a picture of what is happening in the air, on the surface and sub surface. Excercise Trident Juncture 18 (TRJE18) is the flagship collective defence exercise for NATO and is the biggest in 2018. The Exercise will take place from 25th October until the 7th November.
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."

After a ten day work-up on-board HMS Illustrious around the Cornish coast, the Merlin Carrier Air Group (MCAG) prepare to “Go Deep” as they sail westwards out into the Atlantic in pursuit of Submarines.
Exercise Deep Blue has so far seen the Merlin Mk 2s from Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose put through their paces in the South West Approaches, exercising and practicing before they get a sniff at a live target.
That will come as they move westwards where they expect to find UK and Dutch submarines trying to penetrate their tight anti-submarine shield around HMS Illustrious and the two Type 23 Frigates who are joining the Task Group for the exercise.
“We have nine Merlins Mk 2s onboard,” said Commander Ross Spooner, CO of 820 NAS and Commander of the MCAG. “What we anticipate to deliver throughout this exercise is protection for the Fleet. Three aircraft will be in the air at any one time, two of them on station 24 hours a day.”
The role of the Merlins is to keep the Submarines away from the Carrier. High tech sonobouys are dropped in the water at intervals to form a barrier or screen to detect the enemy.
The aircraft also has a dipping sonar to “Ping” a signal out and listen to returns should a adversary get near to the Task Group. Torpedoes and Depth Charges can then be deployed to persecute and destroy the targets.
Aircrews and Engineers work to punishing schedules to keep the momentum up. Pilots, Observers and Aircrewmen work a “Sleep – Eat – Fly – Sleep” rotation, constantly planning the next stage of the routine with little concept of the 24 hour clock.
Engineers work an eight hour watch system that allows them to carry out maintenance on the Merlins which are not in the air or waiting to go onto the flying programme, either on deck or in the Ship’s large but crowded hangar.
“The primary role of the Merlin is ASW,” (Anti-Submarine Warfare) said Lieutenant Alex Best, an Observer with 820 NAS. “Upgrades to technology on-board have made this a phenomenal aircraft that is the best Sub Hunter in the world.”
All this is a hair’s breadth away to when HMS Queen Elizabeth begins operating with the Fleet and the skills and routines practiced today will be vital to the ship’s defence.
“The day to day business of ASW is something we have always practiced,” continued CDR Ross Spooner.
“What we are doing here is refreshing the pace and tempo, getting ourselves back onto the deck with large numbers of aircraft and large numbers of people, making sure we can maintain those 24/7 operations.”

The exercise followed a fictitious storyline, but called for the employment of real-world assets.

The U.S. forces involved are assigned to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, or CJTF-HOA. CJTF-HOA works with coalition partners, such as the French, and with countries in East Africa to promote regional security and stability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sergeant Christopher Ruano)
