NDMS Exercise April 16 and 17. (See attached Message to RRT Members)
The National Guard is planning an exercise for May 18 through 23, 2013. The name of the
exercise is Ardent Century. SCEMD will hold their annual exercise to coincide with Ardent
Century starting on May 20th. The scenario will have two major components.
The principal one will be a hurricane making landfall in South Carolina. The second one a serious contamination event caused by the hurricane. This exercise is still in the planning stage. Please mark you calendar. Also check the SCEMD Calendar. Our participation will probably be during the day on Monday the 20th and Tuesday May 21st. The South Carolina State Guard has said there will be activity over the weekend. They may need our help. Their plan is now available. Some ARES operators are participating in support to SCSG under the AUXCOMM program.
