TZMD Wilderness in the City

ZAZZU

Teame Zazzu conducted a full scale urban-wilderness interface search and rescue exercise in conjunction with homeland security, regional and state emergency responders to test planning, operational coordination and mass search and rescue operations.

The operation demonstrated incident command system practices utilizing a unified command structure amid multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency missing persons scenarios.

“ This is an exercise. Participants will comply with real-world emergency procedures. ”

Wilderness in the city was conducted at the Coal Creek Arena and adjoining Sand Creek Regional Greenway. TZK9 handlers observed SimCell participant roles and responsibilities as indicated by scenario controllers. TZMD operatives led Team and Agency players in direct action under exercise evaluation observers. An after-action report, participant feedback report, and Controller and Evaluator Debriefing was collected to conduct improvement planning for corrective action programs. Go Teame!
