Civilian and military first responders save lives during simulated collision
ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska – Firefighters from Elmendorf Air Force Base’s 3rd Wing attend to a simulated victim of a train collision May 15 as part of the Alaska Shield/Northern Edge 2007 exercise. The May 15 scenario involved civilian and military first responders reacting to an Alaska Railroad train colliding with a bus on Elmendorf. Alaska Shield/Northern Edge is a state of Alaska and U.S. NORTHCOM-sponsored homeland defense exercise involving federal, state, local and private agencies. In each scenario of the exercise, communication and cooperation between authorities at all levels are challenged as military and civilians work hand-in-hand to respond to both natural and man-made crises.
