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.

Soldiers and Airmen of the Virginia National Guard’s Fort Pickett-based 34th Civil Support Team conduct a joint hazardous material response exercise at James Madison University with JMU Police, Harrisonburg Fire Department and Harrisonburg Rescue Squad May 27, 2015, in Harrisonburg, Va. The mission of the 34th CST is to support first responders in potential biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological and explosive incidents, and the exercise at JMU provided an opportunity for the team to train with area first responders and raise awareness of their capabilities. In the exercise scenario, multiple students and teachers reported signs and symptoms believed to be caused by an unknown hazardous material and the 34th CST was brought in to assist the locality with the incident. Members of the team searched room to room in an empty dormitory for a possible source as well as provided mission command and communications assistance to the incident commander. The 34th CST can identify chemical, biological, and radiological substances, assess current and projected consequences, advise an incident commander on response measures and assist with requests for additional state support. Building a partnership with local emergency response organizations helps the team be able to rapidly respond when needed and effectively function as a member of a joint domestic operations team.

Before & After
First of all, this photo is a self portrait (armado aos cágados).
It was shot with a Nikon D3200, Tamron 17-50, and one flash unit and yongnuo flash triggers. (The best my money can buy... ahaha).
The photo was edited using a bunch of techniques in Photoshop:
1st - Cleaned the background using curves, dodge and burning tools to make a mask (notice the hair);
2nd - Cleaned the face, using frequency separation (it works like the high pass filter), clone tool and patch tools;
3rd - Brightened the eyes, painting freely around the eyes using light colors and blured them at the end;
4th - Took care of the wrinkles in the clothes, combining the spot healing brush with the patch tool;
5th - Last but not least, used dodge and burning tools and a fill layer with 50% grey.
PHLEARN - Big HUG - if you want to learn too, go and watch the videos on youtube.

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 Allied Rapid Reaction Corps Support Battalion Soldiers have been working long days and nights, constructing a camp from the ground up that will sustain the whole of HQ ARRC later this year for their upcoming exercises, ARRCADE CHARGER and TRIDENT JUNCTURE 16. It’s a large undertaking, requiring building more than 30 tents, flooring, wiring, and dining facility and more.
British Lt. Sam Adamson, the ARRC Spt. Bn. Transport troop commander has been leading the build since he and his Soldiers packed up the equipment and drove it more than 12 hours from Imjin Barracks, the home of the ARRC.
We pack it up, transport it, and we work with the engineers and signals, construct the area then secure and maintain it,” he said.
“We’ve got a lot of experience here,” he continued. “Some of the lads have been doing this for about four years now so they know, probably better than I do, how the tents go together and how quickly they can go together.”
While some of the troops have done this before, for others like Cpl. Santoss Rai, a build team section leader, construction is not their given trade in the military and not all undertakings are the same.
“This is a new type of exercise to me,” he said. “I have been on lots of exercises with other regiments but not this type, it has been very hard work.”
“We are engaged in building and not our own trade, but we are working very hard and I am very proud of my boys,” he added. “They have been working so hard, all credit goes to them.”
The long days are part of the ARRC SpBn.’s training objective, working within a 16-day build phase to ensure that they will be able to react quickly to any deployment order, supplementing HQ ARRC’s ability to rapidly deploy in support of NATO.
Speed and adaptability are important factors for any military unit, but as a NATO High Readiness Force, it is even more so. The NATO missions of preserving the alliance and regional stability are more important than ever and when the ARRC takes over as the NATO Response Force in 2017, the spearhead of any NATO action, those attributes will become vital.

The Nato Exercise "Northern Wedding" took place every four years. In 1982 and 1986 Denmark took part and in 1982 the American troops were shipped out from the port of Aarhus.
The troops were met by protesters, later removed by the local Police. As seen on the pictures a large part of the spectators on the scene cheered the Police as they arrested the protesters.
