Airmen ensure Command and Control in Tennessee Maneuvers 2016 Published June 27, 2016 By Staff Sgt. Dan Gagnon 134 ARW PA MEMPHIS AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Tenn. -- Airmen from the 119th Command and Control Squadron practiced their disaster response techniques utilizing the Joint Incident Site Communication Capability Terminal at the Tennessee Maneuvers exercise in Memphis, June 20-23. The JISCC is a mobile command and control center that provides emergency communications for multiple agencies during various types of disasters, and can be set up and working in minimal time. "We're ensuring that their communication is seamless and that it happens in the quickest manner possible," said Tech. Sgt. Jerimiah White, a JISCC crewmember with the 119th CACS. "We can set core services up in about three hours." TNMAN '16 was the largest Emergency Response Exercise ever undertaken by the Tennessee National Guard utilizing many Soldiers, Airmen and civilian responders. Designed to promote realism utilizing complex terrain, multiple partners, unique authorities and statutes to test and demonstrate catastrophic response capabilities. In an earthquake situation, the 119th CACS trained on how to be interoperable with other emergency agencies, both military and civilian and what would be necessary to bring to the fight, said White. Under the command of the Governor, the Tennessee National Guard is ready to respond to any state emergency. "Most of the surrounding areas still rely on trunked repeater networks and if the earthquake was to truly happen," said White. "The likelihood of those repeaters staying up or the servers that are attached, is a very low probability." The TNG is committed to using all resources to assist local emergency responders at the request of federal and state emergency agencies.
