They are getting ready to take care of you! Operation ‘Vigilant Guard’ begins in Colorado
Wonder what that sign on I25 meant about national guard movements on the roadway= Operation ‘Vigilant Guard’ begins in Colorado http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative...e-2719038.html DENVER – The Colorado National Guard will be conducting large-scale, multi-agency emergency exercises in Colorado Springs and the Denver metro area this week. The “Vigilant Guard” exercise started Monday morning in Colorado Springs. It focused on coordinating agencies to handle domestic emergencies and disasters.
The entire week’s exercise scenarios are based on a wildland fire burning into an urban area, and will also involve severe weather including tornadoes.
Participants will practice storm damage assessment, hazmat identification, abatement and decontamination, search and rescue, patient extraction, triage and other emergency-response measures, according to officials.
Monday’s exercises include a mock plane crash and a search and rescue mission hosted by the U.S. Air Force Academy Fire Department, officials said.
“Patients” will receive simulated medical treatment from emergency responders. Then they will be transported to a mock hospital at Fort Carson.
Army National Guard helicopters and Fort Carson firefighters will also conduct water drop training operations at Fort Carson. The training will emphasize air-ground communications.
National Guard units from Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming will be participating.
You may see uniformed military members and Guardsmen wearing chemical protective equipment during the training.
