CAMP MUJUK, POHANG, Republic of Korea -- Snow accumulates on the Tactical Air Command Center (TACC) as a storm passes here Feb. 11, making it the worst storm since 1956, according to a local community member. Exercise Key Resolve demonstrates the Republic of Korea-U.S. Alliance's ability to defend the ROK, protect the region and maintain stability on the Korean peninsula. More than four feet of snow fell on the camp, requiring the Marines to dedicate their time to clearing snow and rebuilding damaged tents. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Staff Sgt.

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 “Sandpiper” was designed to test the response of police, ambulance and fire services in the event of an “active shooter” scenario, where public safety is endangered by a gunman or gunmen. Although such incidents have recently been highlighted by events in Australia and France, Sandpiper was actually conceived over a year ago

Two Polish Officers, one from the Army the other Navy work along side each other during Exercise Steadfast Juncture, which took place at Okehampton camp. Members of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), and various other elements of NATO forces came together for Exercise Steadfast Juncture to certify that the ARRC is capable and ready to assume command of the NATO Response Force (NRF) mission throughout 2013. Taking command of the NRF means that the ARRC will be rapidly deployable and could deploy worldwide is support of combat or humanitarian relief efforts.
Exercise Javelin Chase
Brig. Tim Carmichael, commander, 1 Signal Brigade, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), hosted Exercise Javelin Chase (EJC), July 8-9. The race was organized to raise funds to support the Help for Heroes charity.
EJC is a 24-hour running race where 8-man teams will compete to see which team will complete the most laps on a one-mile course in 24-hours. The winning team will be the team that has completed the most amounts of laps in the time period. This could vary from 150 to 200 laps.
Each team had to raise a minimum of £250 to participate in EJC.
“This is a charity race to raise money for Help for Heroes, which is a national charity that looks after the needs of injured military serving members and former service members,” said Brig. Carmichael.
He said they hope to raise a total of £5000 if not more and every single penny will be donated to Help for Heroes charity.
The event took place at the sports field behind HQ ARRC Officer’s Mess. The course was on grass and tracks with no tarmac that winds around and through the woods. As if it wasn’t going to be challenging enough to run 24-hours, the rain on opening day would make it a little more testing.
In the 24-hours a combined total of 2426.00 miles were covered, with the winning team, 299 Signal Squadron, Special Communication running 222 of those miles, and 22 Signal Regiment coming in second with 217 laps.

Gwen Stefani’s Secrets for Staying Fit and also Healthy For numerous followers worldwide, super star songstress Gwen Stefani’s songs and also tummy are exercise inspiration. After a break from her obsessed health and fitness program, Stefani has actually returned to an exercise...
We got this little mini "elliptical/stepper" awhile back, but I wasn't able to use it at first - too jerky, hurt my knees. But Andrew's been using it a lot, and has raised the tension on it, and somehow that helps. The wide stride length of the machines at school is still infinitely better and more comfortable, but it's nice to know I can get my heart rate up for awhile at home, too.
