We've been very busy in District G with lots more to come.

We have fun things planned for all age groups, so come out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Nevada National Guard Training Exercise

Last month I was able to view a training exercise with the Nevada Guard Soldiers and Airmen to test the organizations' ability to respond to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear situations at the mock rubble-pile training site located in northern Clark County. 

The Nevada National Guard has more than 200 Soldiers and Airmen on its Chemical, Biological, Radiological/Nuclear, and Explosive Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) team. The team is trained to quickly provide specialized assistance to federal and state agencies as well as National Guard civil support teams during and after a variety of hazardous situations. 

There were six major areas tested during the exercise, including: fatality search and recovery, search and extraction, decontamination, medical response, joint incident site communications capability, and command and control.  

A big thank you to the Nevada National Guard for the invitation to attend and for the wonderful hospitality.  It was an experience I won't forget.
