10 Airmen with the Puerto Rico Air National Guard’s 156th Communications Flight recently conducted training at the Roosevelt Roads U.S. Army Reserve Center, to build on their Joint Incident Site Communications Capability skills.
The JISCC provides a bridge for communications by satellite to enable high-frequency radio, data, video and voice capabilities in emergency response situations. Airmen haul the equipment in a trailer to a designated site and set up a satellite that links to other satellites to establish communications.
The team of PRANG Airmen deployed the JISCC to Ceiba to initiate communications as part of a training scenario. Once the JISCC site was prepared, a point-to-point microwave was assembled to produce network capabilities.
Dec 15, 2020 We do not recall ever having heard of a place where the local jail is as inadequate as Harrison County’s. The facility, in Cadiz, can hold just eight prisoners. Even during relatively normal times, that is insufficient for a county with slightly more than 15,000 residents. During the past few years, with a drug abuse epidemic in progress, the jail has been woefully inadequate. County commissioners have been forced to pay other counties to house Harrison’s prisoners, at a cost last year alone of about $170,000. Commissioners hope to replace the outdated lockup with a new $15 million jail adjacent to the U.S. Army Reserve Center. That building would be renovated to serve as the sheriff’s department.
