▶ NOW: Hawaii becomes Ground Zero for largest mass casualty exercise in history – YouTube
HAWAII | Hawaii is preparing for massive casualties through the large
scale exercise, Vigilant Guard 15. Complete with crisis actors,
decontamination centers, and quarantine zones. In one scenario that
played out, soldiers practiced treating casualties from a collapsed
building as a fuel spill contaminated the area.
Using the
Campbell Industrial Park as their staging ground the Hawaiian National
Guard set up triage and decontaminated victims.
Vigilant Guard
15 utilized over 2,200 participants from multiple states reacting to a
natural disaster and is the largest mass casualty exercise to date.
More than 700 participants traveled from Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon and Guam.
Military
personnel and first responders, using Chinook and Blackhawk
Helicopters, also practiced a variety of scenarios including disease
outbreak and cyberattack.
Did you see this on the news. I doubt it.
