AND COMMUNICATIONS EXERCISE
June 19, 1980
The purpose of the exercise was to test the capability
of two -way radio systems (equipped with auxiliary power),
particulary RACES, to support communications within the local
area between key operational points, with the state control
center, and with other points in the state in the absence of
landline forms of communication (other than messenger and
direct observation).
The control EOC for this exercise was set up in Bryan at
the Medallion Room of the Utilities Building.
Major B. G. Maddox coordinated preparation of the exercise
scenario. This was initiated by Jake Canglose and Tom Comstock.
Captain Warren Heffington (MOBDES) prepared and wrote an Ex-
ercise Plan that was used in implementing this Exercise.
This Exercise began at 5 P.M. and the Bryan EOC ended at
6:20 P.M. The RACES activities continued an hour longer with
communications for Red Cross, Houston DPS and others.
The RACES set up and communicated with these at the follow-
ing locations:
Bryan EOC - Control - Tom Comstock, Linton Jones
and J. R. Youngblood
College Station EOC
Sheriffs Office
DPS
Red Cross
Thirty local RACES people participated. The local RACES
was in contact with the Houston DPS and thru them sent a simu-
lated message to the Austin DPS.
Forty people participated in this Exercise at the Bryan
EOC.
Mr. Jake Canglose closed the Exercise with evaluation part-
icipation by each section as to the good and the limited results.
It was a good Exercise and should result in further improve-
ments.
