The annual service exercise featured two incidents. A simulated plane crashing into a building and a hazardous chemical release
An exercise involving Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service, Southampton Airport Fire Service and South Central Ambulance Service. The exercise involved a simluated aeroplane crash in the bishopstoke area and invovled a number of RTC extrications. All injuries are simulated.
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."

1st MSC hosts mobilization readiness exercise
Camp Santiago, Salinas: Soldiers of the 1st Mission Support Command's Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment hosted a mobilization readiness exercise at Camp Santiago, P.R., 14-27 March.
During the event, HHD Soldiers completed readiness checks for over 1,000 Soldiers. Events such as this are commonly held annually to ensure that commanders can maintain their unit readiness.
"We try to do this as the units get closer to their available year in order to have them improve their overall readiness and mobilization posture in the event they get selected (for mobilization) down the road", said Gerardo Rodriguez, mobilization officer for the 1st MSC.
Rodriguez said MRXs help units maintain readiness for deployments but they also serve the individual Soldier.
"As part of the MRX ... there are different stations and one of them, one of the most important, is medical. A Soldier is completely checked and whatever cannot be fixed at this location ... the Soldier can go to a private (medical) provider and get that situation fixed and that helps them with their overall readiness",he said.
Soldiers rotate through eleven different stations in total where they are checked in by HHD Soldiers and efficiently move through the station. While the process has been refined over the years at times people still tend to get impatient.
Staff Sgt. Anaselly Ramos, logistics noncommissioned officer with the mobilization team, know the experience can be stressful but to help keep the level of frustration down she leads groups of Soldiers through stations when she sees openings. While each group of Soldiers is instructed to follow the schedule given to them for the MRX, Ramos' method keeps things moving along too.
Keeping track of the entire flow of Soldier traffic is a system called the mobilization plan data viewer.
"It shows all the stations and actually it runs the SRP (MRX) completely", said Spc. Hector Rodriguez, from Bayamon.
"It's tracking each Soldier by station ... you can see how many have completed (the stations) and how many have not",added Rodriguez, who is assigned to the 311th Quartermaster Company.
While the process can be tedious for the Soldiers going from station to station, one Soldier working at the medical readiness station found the MRX to be an opportunity to challenge herself by practicing her public speaking skills.
Spc. Jenniffer Gonzalez Diaz, a traffic management coordinator, who's primary language is Spanish, began giving the medical station briefings to many groups of Soldiers. Gonzalez admits that speaking English is not one of her strengths but her determination brought her recognition among her peers and even the Commanding General of the 1st MSC Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernandez.
"They gave me the opportunity to participate in this activity so I can ... help them in the system with the Soldiers, and I practiced a lot my English",said Gonzalez.
As a member of the the 390th Seaport Company, in Ceiba, Gonzalez recognizes the importance of refining her English language skills. When given the opportunity to refine her abilities when she signed up for the Army, Gonzalez participated in English language courses.
"I improved my English, I practiced my English when I took the class but I knew a little bit of the language because we are Puerto Rico and we are bilingual so we took classes when we started in (grade) school", said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez knows this isn't the only challenge she'll have to overcome in her military career, which is why she stays motivated and maintains a positive attitude.
"The important thing for me is to show people that you are trying, don't get upset, don't get mad if someone corrects you because they are helping you",she said. "If you don't know, ask, so you can learn ... the stuff you learn nobody can take away."

The older I get, the more I reserve the right to change my mind.
Today, I officially changed my exercise preference to kettlebeller. And by 'officially', I mean I've updated my Twitter bio.
This is the third time I've changed my exercise orientation in just over a year. And I'm quite fine with that. Especially now that I know I will eventually be able to get a killer workout in 20 minutes a day, three days a week.
Yes! Exercise for lazy people!
Make no mistake though, even with only 60 minutes of exercise a week, I'll still be able to kick your ass. Rawr! :)
