- 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.
