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."

EXERCISE TRIDENT JAGUAR 2015
In this image: The Targeting Team.
Targeting is the process of selecting and prioritising targets and matching the appropriate response to them, and considering operational requirements and capabilities, in which the targeting team at Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps is responsible for.
The ARRC is being tested on Exercise Trident Jaguar at The Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger, Norway.
This is so the ARRC can begin the role of a ready, stand-by Joint Task Force HQ for conducting a Crisis Response Small Joint Operation.
The ARRC was the NATO Response Force in 2013, and has built Joint planning and control capabilities upon those foundations in the past 18 months, making the headquarters a key command and control element in the NATO Force Structure.

Watercolor pencil practice in Moleskine watercolor journal. I used a photo I had taken a couple of summers ago while on a morning walk, this is just down the road from my house. The scan is not true to the colors in real life, but after many adjustments this was a close as I could come. Also, I'm not thrilled with how the wc pencils behave on the Moleskine wc paper. You can tell there's a kind of foggy sheen to the sketch, and the pencils seem to scratch the paper. I like using hot press much better for wc pencils.

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...

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..

INDIAN ARMY EXERCISE ON SALISBURY PLAIN
For the first time in over 60 years soldiers from the Indian Army are training with British troops on Salisbury Plain. Nearly 140 men from the Punjab-based 16 Mechanised Infantry Battalion are exercising with 3rd Battalion (Staffords) The Mercian Regiment (3 MERCIAN) acting as Ôthe enemyÕ in a major military training exercise.
The role of 3 MERCIAN, as the Land Warfare Centre Battle Group, is to assist and support the training of all Army units on Salisbury Plain Training Area. The Battalion uses its expertise to provide fighting troops to test exercising units and if necessary crew a wide variety of military vehicles.
The Indian soldiers from Bravo Company, 16 Mech Inf Bn, arrived at the end of August from their base in Batiala, Punjab, and will remain in the UK for a month, based at Westdown Camp on Salisbury Plain. Commanded by Major Ganesh Raghavan, the Company has been trained to operate in a range of environments including the desert, mountains and plains. Recently the unit became the first infantry battalion to operate at high altitude (up to 15,000 feet) in the state of Sikkim, which lies in the Himalayas.
In the UK they have been taking part in two significant exercises - EX LIONS STRIKE, the culmination of the Combined Arms Tactics Course at Warminster that provides training for Combat and Combat Support Arms sub-unit commands; and EX WESSEX WARRIOR which consists of a continuous scenario with three or four missions over a five-day period conducted against a motivated opposing force, in this case the Indian Army Company forming part of 3 MERCIAN Battlegroup.
India is a key strategic partner with whom the UK enjoys a close professional defence relationship. This relationship is carried forward in an ongoing programme of training opportunities, exercises, exchanges and visits. Indian Army participation in Exercises LIONS STRIKE AND WESSEX WARRIOR is a routine part of the bilateral defence activity.
