Group 2 SAREX Watsonville (PENDING)

Description: This Group 2 emergency services training exercise will be geared towards advanced search and rescue procedures. The base operations will be located at the Watsonville Airport.  Members of all groups are welcome to participate. Group 2 hosted a Basic SAREX in May at Livermore, CA, where crews learned the basic skill and earned their ES rating. In this SAREX, we will now be focusing on building on those skills. The SAREX will include Air, Ground, and sUAS operations, so crews began working on cross-team coordination. During this SAREX, we are planning on also collaborating with our partners at Santa Cruz SAR, so the teams get experience with the coordination with external partners. Participants will get trained in base operations, ICS execution, multi-team coordination, and handling unforeseen circumstances. 

Objectives: The primary focus is to provide advanced training and recurrency for Mission Scanners in addition to initial sign-offs, Mission Observers, MROs, and UDF. Training will also be provided to:
