Tobruq Arrows is a Latvian-led, multinational short-range air defence exercise intended to enhance interoperability among NATO forces and increase readiness through the integration of land component air missile defence capabilities.
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."
Push up exercise is a perfect exercise to build upper body and core strength. It is a compound exercise that uses muscles in the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, abs, and even the legs. The 30 minutes push up workout challenge should practice on a regular basis for insane upper body strength . Xcross Fitness Channel has many push up exercise videos, so watch the videos and learn different exercises.

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.

GRAND BARA DESERT, Djibouti (September 27, 2012) – Pararescuemen from the 82nd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron disembark a U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter during Mass Casualty Exercise 12-1, September 25, 2012, which started in the Grand Bara Desert, Djibouti. The exercise followed a fictitious storyline, but called for the employment of real-world assets. While French and U.S. forces conduct frequent combined training events, this was the first exercise of this type between the two nations in Djibouti. 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 Technical Sergeant Joseph McKee)
