鈥淭he work ATS provides is a critical asset not only to our warfighters and first responders, but to the communities they serve,鈥� he said about his impression of what ATS does.

Well, Brandon, we appreciate you standing in the spotlight this month! Your hard work does not go unnoticed! Thank you, Brandon!

Last week, members of 麻豆色情片 assisted U.S. Army Garrison Fort Carson personnel to identify, respond, and recover from a wildland fire natural disaster event exercise. This exercise also tested the team鈥檚 ability to respond to multiple incidents across the installation, as well as their ability to coordinate with local agencies.

The ATS team was responsible for the full-scale exercise design and development, scenario planning, simulation modeling, simulated social media production, as well as training support and execution. The team spent 10 months prior planning and developing the exercise to ensure it provided realistic training.

Prior to the start of the exercise, the team led in with wildfire messaging to the installation stating there was a natural disaster imminent. The simulated fire then jumped the road to the South of the installation, beginning the exercise.

This began a series of events through the exercise. The Emergency Operations Center was activated, several local units and installation assets were notified, and the emergency warnings were initiated. Installation teams then coordinated with local Fire Department units to assist the garrison assets.

Engineers and air support were also requested to ensure the protection of as much of the base as possible. The installation then decided to simulate a base evacuation. Subsequently, there was also a simulated car accident occurring, ensuring simultaneous responses from law enforcement and emergency services.

Complex exercises like this, which include multi-faceted, real-world event simulations such as a car accident occurring during a base evacuation due to an impending wildfire, ensure that installation assets are maximally prepared.

These exercises test personnel, response capabilities, communication, and emergency operations between the installation and higher headquarters, as well as local support coordination.

Overall, the ATS team successfully supported this full-scale exercise by providing simulated wildfire messaging, producing simulated social media, and leading and supporting White Cell execution.  The team used various products to create realistic simulations, enhancing the exercise design and enabling the installation to effectively test its plans, policies, and procedures.

As a leader in emergency preparedness training and readiness, ATS continues to actively work to deliver innovative, experience-based disaster-preparedness exercise solutions for local, state, and federal agencies to protect communities.聽

This exercise simulated a tornado touching down on Fort Moore, causing damage and scattering debris across the Installation. The ATS team led this exercise by providing exercise planning, design, control, support, simulation services, and simulation cell management.

Three days prior to the start of the exercise, the Installation sent out simulated messaging from the National Weather Service indicating inclement weather, then led the scenario into the possibility of tornado activity. The exercise began with a tornado watch message and the simulated tornado 鈥榯ouching down鈥� soon afterwards.

This Full-Scale Exercise was implemented in conjunction with a Black Start Exercise, which simulates the power being out in several places on the Installation, without the availability of backup generators and other secondary resources. The Department of Public Works and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the installation had to respond accordingly.

The purpose of the exercise was to test and evaluate the Installation鈥檚 ability to identify, respond, and recover from natural threats against its infrastructure, facilities, and personnel that caused damage to the Installation, mass casualties, and fatalities.  The exercise also tested the Installation鈥檚 ability to coordinate with local agencies during response and recovery efforts, while continuing to provide Mission Assurance and community resilience operations to the installation.

ATS supported the exercise with simulated weather messaging, the production of simulated social media, simulated damage pictures to paint a realistic picture for first responders, while leading and supporting White Cell execution.  The team employed various products to provide a realistic representation of events which enhanced the execution of the exercise design that allowed the Installation to effectively test their plans, policies, and procedures.

These simulated events resulted in the triage, treatment, and evacuation of the injured and the initiation of fatality management operations.  This also led to the activation of the Installation Emergency Operations Center, Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC), and Mutual Aid Agreements; the employment of first responder assets (Law Enforcement, Fire, medical and DPW); conducting damage assessment operations; and addressing casualty and fatality management operations. 

This successful, yet complex exercise challenged USAG Fort Moore鈥檚 ability to synthesize information received from a variety of live and simulated sources; synchronize network, communications, power, and emergency management efforts amongst its tenant organizations, local external partners, and senior leadership.  It also provided USAG Fort Moore the opportunity to test and validate employment of alternate communications methods such as Land Mobile Radio and FIRSTNET between the Installation, local external partner agencies, and higher headquarters.

As a leader in emergency preparedness training and readiness, ATS continues to actively work to deliver innovative, experience-based disaster-preparedness exercises solutions for local, state, and federal agencies to protect communities.聽

The TRADOC Proponent Office plays a vital role as the Army鈥檚 combat and training developer, validating concepts and requirements which support the development of Army live-fire range facilities and associated training strategies. With the Army’s leadership converging on a vision and concept for a Future Force and committing to a path toward transformation, the TPO’s role becomes even more critical.

The objectives of this contract include providing STRAC analysis and assessment of the impact of the Army鈥檚 transformation on training ammunition requirements, thereby supporting the success of the STRAC mission.

The scope of services to be provided involves determining the quantities and types of munitions required for Soldiers, crews, and units to attain and sustain weapon proficiency relative to readiness levels, validating all ammunition requirements for combat and operation load, home station and combat training centers, POIs, New Equipment 麻豆色情片, and Mobilization 麻豆色情片 through the STRAC process as outlined in AR 5-13 (Army Munitions Requirements, Prioritization, and Authorizations Management Policy).

The rapid transition to a modular force structure will impact present and future weapons training strategies, ammunition requirements, Program Objective Memorandums, ranges, targets, and land usage. This transformation necessitates the development of new weapons strategies to align with deployment and combat needs, incorporating lessons learned from Iraq, Afghanistan, and past battlefield experiences.

In support of these significant changes, ATSC, STRAC Division has a requirement to conduct analysis and assessments of modularity into ammunition management, 麻豆色情片 Range planning, design, and implementation, TRADOC Program of Instruction, and new land requirements.

We are honored to support the TRADOC Proponent Office in their mission to ensure the readiness and effectiveness of our U.S. Army forces. This contract represents our commitment to excellence and dedication to providing essential support in the development of cutting-edge training strategies and ammunition requirements.

The awarded contract to 麻豆色情片, LLC includes the provision of Ammunition Technician/Instructor support, responsible for the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Ammunition Handler Certification Course. This role involves coordination of all classes and periodic updates of instructional material for the AHCC. Additionally, IAMO is directly responsible for the maintenance of a local database of all Ammunition Handler Certification classes, serving as a system of record for all personnel completing the AHCC.
