On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.

MALABAR, Fla. - Senior Army Reserve leaders from throughout the Southeast United States converged at several military installations on Florida's east coast to inspect approximately 900 Soldiers participating in a mobilization exercise (MOBEX) conducted by the 641st Regional Support Group (RSG).
Army Maj. Gen. Les Carroll, commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, and Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general of the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), boarded a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter operated by the Florida National Guard at Orlando International Airport the morning of Jan. 23. In less than 45 minutes, the two generals and their staff arrived at Patrick Air Force Base to meet more than a dozen Soldiers competing in the 641st RSG's Best Warrior Competition.
As the Best Warrior competitors prepared to take their places on the firing range, the generals proceeded to the Air Force's Malabar Training Annex. There, Army Col. Donald Absher, commander of the 641st RSG, along with dozens of senior officers at the company and battalion level briefed the generals on the numerous training events the 641st simultaneously conducted in three separate locations. Carroll and Espaillat saw firsthand the 641st RSG troops in action as they toured the site and spoke with junior Soldiers participating in field exercises ranging from driver's training to casualty evacuation.
The generals concluded their tour by awarding commander coins to several Soldiers who made major contributions toward MOBEX's planning, organization and implementation. Espaillat also awarded the Meritorious Service Medal to Army Capt. Julie Bowyer, the 641st RSG's chief of operations.
The 143rd ESC's commander even spared a couple minutes to meet the father and grandmother of Sgt. John Carkeet, a public affairs noncommissioned officer who provided photojournalism support for the MOBEX. The pair drove to Melbourne International Airport to see their son and grandson leave his hometown in typical Army fashion ... via Blackhawk.
Approximately a dozen convoys traveling as far as South Carolina arrived at Patrick Air Force Base, Port Canaveral and Malabar Jan. 22 to conduct this four-day field exercise that demonstrates the Army Reserve's transportation and logistics capabilities on land and sea. MOBEX will continue 24/7 operations until Jan. 25.

1st MSC hosts mobilization readiness exercise
Camp Santiago, Salinas: Soldiers of the 1st Mission Support Command's Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment hosted a mobilization readiness exercise at Camp Santiago, P.R., 14-27 March.
During the event, HHD Soldiers completed readiness checks for over 1,000 Soldiers. Events such as this are commonly held annually to ensure that commanders can maintain their unit readiness.
"We try to do this as the units get closer to their available year in order to have them improve their overall readiness and mobilization posture in the event they get selected (for mobilization) down the road", said Gerardo Rodriguez, mobilization officer for the 1st MSC.
Rodriguez said MRXs help units maintain readiness for deployments but they also serve the individual Soldier.
"As part of the MRX ... there are different stations and one of them, one of the most important, is medical. A Soldier is completely checked and whatever cannot be fixed at this location ... the Soldier can go to a private (medical) provider and get that situation fixed and that helps them with their overall readiness",he said.
Soldiers rotate through eleven different stations in total where they are checked in by HHD Soldiers and efficiently move through the station. While the process has been refined over the years at times people still tend to get impatient.
Staff Sgt. Anaselly Ramos, logistics noncommissioned officer with the mobilization team, know the experience can be stressful but to help keep the level of frustration down she leads groups of Soldiers through stations when she sees openings. While each group of Soldiers is instructed to follow the schedule given to them for the MRX, Ramos' method keeps things moving along too.
Keeping track of the entire flow of Soldier traffic is a system called the mobilization plan data viewer.
"It shows all the stations and actually it runs the SRP (MRX) completely", said Spc. Hector Rodriguez, from Bayamon.
"It's tracking each Soldier by station ... you can see how many have completed (the stations) and how many have not",added Rodriguez, who is assigned to the 311th Quartermaster Company.
While the process can be tedious for the Soldiers going from station to station, one Soldier working at the medical readiness station found the MRX to be an opportunity to challenge herself by practicing her public speaking skills.
Spc. Jenniffer Gonzalez Diaz, a traffic management coordinator, who's primary language is Spanish, began giving the medical station briefings to many groups of Soldiers. Gonzalez admits that speaking English is not one of her strengths but her determination brought her recognition among her peers and even the Commanding General of the 1st MSC Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernandez.
"They gave me the opportunity to participate in this activity so I can ... help them in the system with the Soldiers, and I practiced a lot my English",said Gonzalez.
As a member of the the 390th Seaport Company, in Ceiba, Gonzalez recognizes the importance of refining her English language skills. When given the opportunity to refine her abilities when she signed up for the Army, Gonzalez participated in English language courses.
"I improved my English, I practiced my English when I took the class but I knew a little bit of the language because we are Puerto Rico and we are bilingual so we took classes when we started in (grade) school", said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez knows this isn't the only challenge she'll have to overcome in her military career, which is why she stays motivated and maintains a positive attitude.
"The important thing for me is to show people that you are trying, don't get upset, don't get mad if someone corrects you because they are helping you",she said. "If you don't know, ask, so you can learn ... the stuff you learn nobody can take away."

I felt gross today, but still managed to throw on my trusty VU shorts/tank top and hit the treadmill. Yay for trying to downsize the booty.
In the Exercise physiology lab students have the opportunity to measure blood lactate production during various stages of exertion during exercise. The main purpose of the lab is to examine the changes in the byproducts produced during exercise. The students are specifically comparing the variations between these byproducts in hot and cold environments. At Cal Poly College of Science & Mathematics, students apply skills they’ve learned in class and experience theories proven first hand.
