Nevada Division of Emergency Management/Homeland Security Announces It’s First Multi-County Full Scale Search and Rescue Exercise
The Nevada Division of Emergency Management/Homeland Security (NDEM) is pleased to announce operation Green Light, a Full Scale Exercise (FSE) scheduled for August 17 -19, 2012. Under Statute NRS 414.170-260, the NDEM establishes the Search and Rescue Program and provides resources to the sheriffs in the state upon request. The county sheriffs are statutorily responsible for Search and Rescue within their jurisdiction per NRS 248-092.
Operation Green light is designed to involve several jurisdictions in a series of exercises, drills, and other preparedness activities utilizing a progressive approach. These activities include participation by local, state, and federal agencies that support response efforts during a severe weather incident in Nevada. The scenario is designed to stimulate extreme conditions that sweep west to east causing much damage, power outages, transportation corridor issues, road wash outs, downed aircraft and missing persons. Sheriff offices and volunteers, from eight of Nevada’s counties are participating in a particular incident caused by the storm.
Specific simulated scenarios include: a helicopter crash in the Ruby Mountains south of Elko, a stranded rancher in Pershing County, a plane crash in a remote area of Lyon County, an overdue solo climber in the mountains near Lake Tahoe, and an injured motorcyclist in Storey County.
Operation Green Light will further develop and strengthen regional partnerships and enhance emergency preparedness, response, and prevention capabilities.

The participating counties are listed as follows: Carson City, Douglas, Elko, Humboldt, Lyon, Pershing, Storey and Washoe County
Four federal agencies: The National Weather Service, Fallon Naval Air Station, United States Air Force Coordination Center and the Civil Air Patrol.
State Agencies: Nevada Air National Guard, Nevada Army National Guard and the Division of Emergency Management/Homeland Security.
Media from the local jurisdictions are welcome to contact their law enforcement partners for more insight on the exercises taking place in that county.

I lately started exercising with the goal of enhancing muscle mass dimension as well as shedding some fat. It seems that obtaining and cutting cycles could be the most effective means to go rather of aiming to do both at the same time. I have actually been consuming a bunch of healthy protein...

Personnel from HQ ARRC participate in Adventure Training.
Team building is the cornerstone of any successful military unit.
Last week June 22 to June 26 service members from the headquarters participated in Exercise RIDGEMASTER in Wales, along the Pembrokeshire coast. Personnel from the UK, French and German contingent were among the nations participating in the exercise; HQ ARRC's annual adventure training exercise.
RIDGEMASTER is a team building exercise coordinated bt Lt Commander Guy Richards, HQ ARRC, Support Division. The exercise gives the nations a chance to bond with other services and nations.
"Ridgemaster gets people away from their desk," said Lt Cdr Richards. "It allows participants to challenge themselves both mentally and physically, as well as develop team skills and leadership skills which is expected of military personnel," he added.
The exercise allowed participants to not only work as a combined team in the different elements, but also to interact with partner nations serving from the Navy, Army and Royal Air Force.
The five-day exercise comprised of mountain biking, sea kayaking and rock climbing.
Lt Co. Thorsten has been with ARRC since September 2014 working in the G5 cell.
He said "The exercise was a great opportunity to get out and provided a great amount of challenges as well".
"This is a great opportunity for us to practice and learn more about our strengths and weaknesses while simultaneously building team camaraderie," said Thorsten. "I would encourage people from the entire staff to participate in the Adventure Training," said the German officer.

The reason for choosing this shot is that it shows a hint of what is in the background without the background starting to dominate, while still giving a bit of a feeling of a relationship between the candle and the background..

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."

A Norweigen F-16 takes off during Exercise BRILLIANT ARROW 13 at Oerland Main Air Station, Norway, on Sep 5, 2013.
Exercise BRILLIANT ARROW is a live-fly exercise conducted by HQ Allied Air Command involving some 50 military aircraft and approx. 800 personnel from Aug. 25 to Sep. 5, 2013. In addition to Norway, nine other NATO members – France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Turkey and the United Kingdom – have made their personnel and material available for the exercise.
The exercise is conducted to prepare allied air forces and hone their skills in orchestrating air operations. This capability may be needed when the involved units are activated under the NATO Response Force (NRF). The participating units and HQ AIRCOM will be on standby for 2014 ready to be stood up for a potential NRF mission.
