RACESBUL.270 DATE: April 19, 1993
SUBJECT: TNG - Exercise technique
Seldom do state level radio communications exercises approximate
"real world" communications.
Unlike health and welfare traffic, government communications
tends to be predominantly sporadic, informal, and tactical in nature.
Long periods of no communications are common. As they say in the
service, "Hurry up and wait".
An exercise technique used successfully is that of sending the same
message over multiple channels. This means that a message from State
to a county EOC is transmitted via the RACES, Civil Air Patrol, SECURE,
Local Government or other available and appropriate radio systems.
Following the exercise, you request that the received message forms
be mailed back to you to show both accuracy and time of receipt. In
county to city exercises, CB radio may be thrown into the mix.
