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.

The major incident capabilities of West Midlands Fire Service were put to the test.
The emergency planning exercise – codenamed Morpheus – saw 15 fire engines travelling in convoy from Birmingham to the National Fire Service College at Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.
A total of 110 staff took part in the training.
Adrian Baldock, Station Cmdr, said: “The exercise proved to be an excellent test of our staff and procedures for dealing with major incidents... It is difficult to simulate the “real thing” .
“The complete simulation involved a major breathing apparatus search and rescue exercise at the Fire College Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire. The day also included special “convoy training”.

TA soldiers on Exercise ROMAN STAR in Italy
TA soldiers from 4 YORKS are in Italy learning how to adapt to the changing nature of conflict. As the Army looks to draw down its forces in Afghanistan and retrain to combat the new security threats facing the world, training is changing to reflect the new demands. The new training exercise with the Italian Army, known as Ex ROMAN STAR, follows this month's Government announcement on troop reductions and a greater reliance on reserve soldiers to integrate with the regular Army. It is the first of a series of new overseas exercises for the reserves who will need to increase their numbers to meet the demands of the Army 2020 structure
Reservists from 4 YORKS are the first to undertake the exercise which trains them to prepare for and execute an attack on a property occupied by enemy forces. The attack includes a helicopter assault with the Italian Army providing the air assets. Building up to this, the troops will learn how to combine conventional warfare and close quarter combat with modern assault techniques, some of which have been developed during operations in Afghanistan; Crown copyright.

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."

Rooftop rescue tests garrison firefighters’ capabilities
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Balancing on a cold rooftop, Daniel Pommer, a U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz emergency medical technician, bandaged the leg of a construction worker as fellow firefighters doused a nearby blaze.
Just minutes before, simulated explosions at a Kleber Kaserne construction site launched the garrison firefighters into an exercise to test their response to an on-post emergency.
“This shows me what we have to think about when on a roof,” said Pommer, who’s worked for the garrison since 2010.
“We learn things from doing this.”
In the scenario, roofers working with propane gas encountered a leak that ignited and caused an explosion. A mock fire and workers with moulage injuries awaited first responders.
“The dispatcher told us there was an explosion and two victims are missing,” said Jörg Will, a crew chief who responded to the staged incident, held in late November. “We made a loud speaker announcement that we have an alarm, and we got straight to the trucks.”
Several loud booms sounded as fire trucks rolled onto the scene. Military police officers secured the area as curious onlookers gazed upward at firefighters climbing up a ladder to the roof.
Pommer, who transferred from Mannheim when that Army garrison closed, has been an EMT for two years. On the rooftop, his role was to access and treat wounds, then care for the injured workers until they could be moved off the roof. One man’s simulated injuries were severe.
“The challenge now [is that] he’s bleeding and he’s getting cold and it’s slippery on the roof,” Pommer said.
To get the workers off the roof, firefighters called for the garrison’s ladder truck, housed at Sembach Kaserne. In an emergency, they can also call a German civilian fire station to assist, Will said.
Construction workers are building a new convenience store to replace the Kleber shoppette, which burned down three years ago. The new shoppette is due to be completed in late 2015, according to the garrison’s Directorate of Public Works.
The contractor was required to conduct a fire exercise, so they partnered with the garrison’s emergency services directorate, said Robert Coonce, fire chief for U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz.
Once a U.S. Air Force mission, firefighting at U.S. military installations in Kaiserslautern’s east end has been an Army responsibility for the past two years. Garrison firefighters have the ability to fight structure fires, plus respond to medical emergencies and hazardous material incidents, Coonce said.
“They come with the training and equipment to deal with any threat,” Coonce said. “This training keeps them proficient in what they do and keeps them familiar with their area of responsibility.”
In August 2011, a passerby reported the Kleber shoppette ablaze. Firefighters responded in less than four minutes, said Lt. Col. George B. Brown III, the garrison’s emergency services director. Flames reaching into the night could be seen from the highway, nearly a mile away. About 50 military and German civilian firefighters worked four hours to put the fire out, Brown said.
“When it was all over, there were no injuries and the adjacent buildings were saved. That was not by accident. It requires properly resourced and trained emergency professionals,” Brown said. “And that’s what this training was about. We’re all about keeping the worst event from ever happening. However, when it does, we will be there to ensure that it doesn’t get any worse.”
