Some of our challenges were the radio communications. We got cross banded with San Francisco but bringing in commercial satellite down to the marine force that would be on the ground was one of the challenges that we had to work through after the event. It was successful but its something that in planning in an emergency we need to make sure that the correct satellite assets are down to the end users, the people on the ground. Hello, so we had a lot of success i think we talked about, at least a...

Ill say thats unprecedented with any civilian Emergency Services agency going to a dod asset and having it engage in 4 hours. Commander, anything you want to share . More recently in 2012, two squadrons provided 3 aircraft and the notification process was approximately 2 to 3 hours. We have expanded the capability in the navy, as i said earlier, and that allows for that rapid surge response which was put to the test in august. On this most recent lightning complex fire, it was a little bit diffe...

The u. S. Has now surged well beyond italy to become the country with the most confirmed cases in the world. The number of cases continues to rise exponentially. The white house is now warning that every metro area is going to be hit. The president has basically admitted through his ac...

Accelerate and peak in the next coming weeks. Heres what the president is saying about extending the shut down. We are thinking that around easter, thats going to be your spike, the highest point we think and then its going to start coming down from there, that will be a day of celebration and we just want to do it right. So we picked the end of april, april 30th as the day where we can see some Real Progress and we expect to see that, and then by a little short of june, may be, we think its a t...

Just one, and that is i will pass to my relief to continue to support events like this and look for opportunities to continue to learn how we best in the military can integrate with our civilian and federal contemporaries to be prepared for an eventuality that we hope will never come, but we certainly should be prepared for. So the one thing im passing on is keep the momentum. Thank you, all. One other benefit that was cited in the after action review and also was mentioned today is the chance i...

They are sort of gimmes and put it to you, what are the things you told your boss about this exercise and what is something that for next year you would like to see us do . Michelle, if youd start us off.

We used 800 megahertz push to talk radios here. We assu...

In a large scale Disaster Relief, where the military is called in to assist the civilian components there is an obvious issue of how you get the command and control and in...
